Great movie from fantastic director

From Bjelogrlic, our best director, comes an inspiring story that has had a significant impact on modern medicine - the first bone-marrow transplant performed on a human.

Ancident in Vinca has been unknown for public until breakdown of Yugoslavia. Tipical for communism countries. The film is based on the book from Goran Milasinovic - Vinca Case.

It is a technically really good movie, the photography is great here, and it is well directed as well. The actors did their part well.

Although everything is in the right place, something is missing. I'm not sure what, maybe it's just my perception.
