Incredible movie with strong emotions.

One of must-see movies, all recommendations!!! True descriptions of the real situation of bombing the Belgrade city. Excellent movie with very strong emotions. Serbian mentality is well explained. Defiance and heroism, courage and bravery. At least what it once was and used to be. One line (quote) i like the most: "for 10 years nothing has changed even for the next 10 years nothing will change." In country of Serbia or in whole world? :D I like it and I recommend it to all. This sentence tells all: Ljubisa Samardzic tells of the tragic experiences of these simple people. Their need for private happiness, their wartime psychoses and rivalries, their attempts to suppress it all by holding onto to daily rituals and their dreams. To pull it off, Samardzic doesn't need grandiose imagery, heroic gestures, political accusations or apply any pressure to the tear glands. His unadorned scenes resonate without falling into the trap of dismay.
