The plot is another mosaic of incidents, this time involving a large group of characters making their way through a rough night in Belgrade.
Balkan society is in a state of total collapse.
The narrative is pieced together through invariably spectacular incidents involving automobile rides, colliding cars, a hijacked bus, a couple too far off the main road, a taxi driver dispensing gruff wisdom. Belgrade's urban geography is rendered as a spooky assortment of empty shacks, cramped dwellings and sinister streets. Paskaljevic's dramatic thesis, expanded from a play by Dejan Dukovski, is simple but powerful. The condition of war has been internalised by every citizen. Mistrust, anger, aggression, greed and opportunism rule all social interactions.
