Jovan Jovanović

A young Sicilian is swindled twice, but ends up rich; a man poses as a deaf-mute in a convent of curious nuns; a woman must hide her lover when her husband comes home early; a scoundrel fools a priest on his deathbed; three brothers take revenge on their sister's lover; a young girl sleeps on the roof to meet her boyfriend at night; a group of painters wait for inspiration; a crafty priest attempts to seduce his friend's wife; and two friends make a pact to find out what happens after death.

Naturalistic and almost documentary account of the heroin addicts in Belgrade, in the form of a sad life story of young girl and her wasted life.

A portrait of a restless young man in late-1960s Belgrade whose cool exterior masks deep dissatisfaction, violent imaginings, and a search for identity amid urban life.

The film was banned from public screening for 43 years, it was censored by the Academy of Theatre, Film, Radio and Television (today's FDU). Before filming, Jovanović lived in a university town for several months, researching the life of students. The then head of the Academy, Vjekoslav Afrić, was shocked by the truth about the university city at the internal screening of the film. He addresses Jovanović verbally and aggressively, threatening him with a criminal report. Although he has never been to the university town, he accuses Jovanović of directing the students' lives and says that he will be held accountable for that. Afrić formed two commissions with the task of visiting the university town the next day and confirming Afrić's claims. The commissions determined that the film faithfully portrayed life in the university town. Despite this, Afrić insisted that a report be filed against Jovanović to the State Security Service (successors of OZNa and UDBA).

Young and Healthy as a Rose follows Stevan Nikolić, "Stiv", a petty criminal born in Belgrade, and his rise to power along with drugs, sex and with the help of the local police.

The film analyzes the Titoist (Stalinist) rituals that were used to manipulate public opinion and the masses. In parallel, the film shows the monument of Edvard Kardelj, the main Orwellian ideologue of Titoism in the center of Ljubljana. The workers surrounding Kardelj are beings without articulated faces. Kardelj has the only human face. They all go to the so-called happy future. The monument confirms in an astonishing and perverse way that the so-called self-governing socialism produced a mass of impersonal and authoritarian individuals in the crowd, which the so-called communist elites rule unscrupulously by manipulating the feelings of the masses "about a better future".

The meeting of singers from Serbia Predrag 'Cune' Gojković and Minja Subota with their former friend, Slovenian singer Elda Viler. Pera Dimitrijević, a former singing star in Slovenia, organized the meeting. Dimitrijević has been unsuccessfully trying to create "a bridge of friendship" between Serbia and Slovenia for years. During the stay of Gojković and Subota, Slovenians were not interested in their concert.

The film has two parallel narrative lines. The first which follows the fate of a Slovenian "rebel without a cause" from the provinces, rocker and world traveler who contracted HIV in Africa. In the second line, in parallel, the history of the AIDS epidemic, the specific nature of the virus and the analysis of the drugs that enable the cure of the disease are presented. That virus is, for now, incurable, and is considered a plague of the modern world. Jovanović and his team recorded all the material in a large number of countries in America, Europe and Asia.
