About movie
Mladen (Nebosa Glogovac) runs an unsuccessful construction company and lives with wife Marija (Natasa Ninkovic), a teacher, and son Nemanja (Marko Djurovic, never annoying), in a tiny apartment. Around them in Belgrade, a grotty city where gypsies still roam the streets, are people of considerable wealth; no one is naive enough to ask where their money comes from. But Mladen and Marija are doing OK, and the family’s happy, until the day Nemanja collapses. He needs an operation fast, but the nearest hospital capable is in Germany, so national health won’t pay. “Find the money somewhere,” the doctor says. But where are they supposed to come up with 26,000 Euros? Marija swallows her pride and advertises in the paper, begging for help. Mladen is angry and embarrassed she’s made their troubles public, but against all hope, someone calls. The benefactor meets Mladen for a drink and offers to pay the whole cost. All Mladen has to do in return is kill someone. --Sarah Manvel
