We Are All Dudeks

This documentary was made to mark the 50th anniversary of the broadcast of the cult series Gruntovčani.

By combining archival material, interviews with the remaining living members of the crew that filmed the series, as well as authentic witnesses who still cherish the memory of Gruntovčani today, the film tells the story of the creation and timelessness of the cult TV Zagreb series.
