Lem and Isak fraternize and lead a common struggle against the system of the time in communist Yugoslavia.
criticism
- film-dienst : A visually stunning film told in flashbacks, which conveys its dark story in a fairytale-like manner, comes up with convincing actors and takes the bitter story a little bit of its sharpness with sarcasm and bizarre.
Awards
