Can three comedians from Bosnia overcome the bitterness of the past to reunite and reconcile? Often compared to Monty Python's Flying Circus the comedy team from Sarajevo known as Top Lista Nadrealista or The Surrealist Hit Parade rose to prominence on the eve of the breakup of Yugoslavia. Nele, Zenit and Djuro became household names throughout the Balkans. The wars that followed the splintering of the country pitted each of the diverse communities against one another. The bitter conflict exposed some nationalist loyalties among the comedians and lead to the acrimonious break-up of Top Lista. The split reflecting the broader tribulations dividing their homeland.

Falling Gypsy
En Belgrado, Yugoslavia, durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un poeta, Marko Dren (Miki Manojlovic), esconde a su amigo Petar Popara (Lazar Ristovski) y a su familia en un sótano para esconderse de los nazis. Allí ocultos deben fabricar armas para la guerra. Marko los engaña para que sigan fabricando armas 20 años después de la guerra y haciéndoles creer que aún no termina y que sólo han pasado 15 años. La película está llena de simbolismos y metáforas. Por ejemplo, tras el bombardeo a Belgrado, Blaky se limpia el zapato con un gato; al final, Petar, en la búsqueda de su hijo y tras descubrir que Marko y Natalija (Mirjana Jokovic) murieron, se apoya en una cruz que tiene a Cristo invertido. Además, en medio del fuego y la destrucción, hay un caballo blanco y un ganso volando.
