The Market (2006)
Market shoppers use all of their senses when trying to ascertain whether the groceries are local or imported.

They rather chose to buy local goods simply because it is "our" , Croatian, local produce, and not some foreign, unfamiliar and alien foodstuff which is therefore deemed of lesser quality.
