Tom is a young and broke filmmaker from Zagreb, trying to make films in Belgrade. He doesn’t believe in anybody, respects no one and is in constant conflict with the ruling system and order. After being left by a silly American girl, Tom binds with a woman whose husband is abroad. When she kicks him out, he moves in with her husband’s sister, who later kills him in the attack of jealousy. Directed by Lazar Stojanovic. 1971. Free.
