A cult work by Abdulah Sidran, one of the most important authors of the former Yugoslav theatre and film scene, directed by Oliver Frljic, the most intriguing director from the ex-Yugoslavia!
This is a story of a family from Sarajevo in the early fifties, during the Tito-Stalin conflict, presented as memories of a boy named Dino, played by Vlastimir Duza Stojiljkovic, whose father ends up imprisoned during the time of the Informbiro.
A father's unwary and incidental remark in front of his mistress, spiced up by her jealousy and vengefulness, will completely transform their lives. Through an intimate story, the play depicts the complexity of that particular political moment, questions those unfortunate times and historical events that profoundly marked ordinary, innocent peoples' destinies. The performance won a number of awards at different theatrical festivals.
