Soldiers

More or less happy adventures of a Yugoslav People's Army unit, a friendly batch that couldn't be more ethnically diverse.

Documentary about the history of Užice and its role in WW2 as the first territory liberated in Nazi occupied Europe and the fighters of the Yugoslav partisan movement the town gave birth to.

Collage film juxtaposing footage of Nazi Germany and the occupation with contemporary Yugoslavia.

A group of partisans goes to destroy a German gas warehouse at Postojnska Jama. One of them grows distrustful towards the new commander, and it spreads among the rest of the squad. The situation culminates when the mentioned partisan remains cut off inside a cave.

The movie is inspired by the book "Nova Klasa" by Milovan Đilas, a close associate of Josip Broz Tito, who later became a famous dissident. The book analyzes the process in which former "revolutionaries" become petty bourgeois. Wanting to imitate the classical bourgeois class in Serbia (which they destroyed with genocide, ethnocide, culturocide and urbanocide), they only manage to reach the level of provincial petty bourgeois. Their world resembles the world from Branislav Nušić's comedies. The quasi-elite even has fun with the characters and situations, recognizes themselves and enjoys their stupidity. Two horses in front of the National Assembly unsuccessfully try to prevent other "horses" from entering. The absurdity of what is happening in today's National Assembly even exceeds the imagination of Nušić.
