A bourgeois family hosts communist revolutionaries — chaos, satire, and Yugoslavia's weirdest houseguests ensue.
An absurd depiction of the communist revolution in Yugoslavia after World War II, the film primarily follows a group of young partisans who are placed in the home of a pre-war bourgeois family. The family then tries to adapt to the new ideology and values, often leading to various absurd situations.
Acting
Bata Stojković's deadpan revolutionary is comedic perfection.
Writing
Sharp dialogue weaponizes ideology into domestic absurdity.
Director
Bahrudin 'Bato' Čengić
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Yugoslavia's 'Black Wave' cinema movement, when filmmakers used absurdism to critique Tito's socialism without explicit censorship. Čengić walked a tightrope.
The house itself was a real bourgeois villa confiscated by the state — art imitating confiscated life, literally.
