Lika, Austro-Hungarian Empire, the year is 1918, the last year of WWI. In a wasteland rocky area, among ravines there is a small gendarmery police station with several gendarmes headed by sergeant Cokula. The area is controlled by a group of outlaws led by Todor nicknamed "The Terrible". Sergeant Cokula and Todor did not bother each other, until bandits robbed the emperor's inspector.
Acting
Bata Živojinović's weathered charisma as Todor.
Writing
Sardonic dialogue in a powder-keg setting.
Director
Dejan Šorak
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
