DESCRIPTION

Serbia in the 1920s, after the First World War - a beauti- ful, brutal land, suspended between East and West, ancient magic and the forces of civilization. High in the mountains of this mysterious, battle-scarred country lies the village of Pokrp, whose menfolk have been eradicated by generations of war. A village of lovelorn, men-starved women. When sisters Little Boginja and Ognjenka inadvertently kill Pokrp’s sole surviving male – elderly and half catatonic Grandpa Bisa - in a futile attempt to lose their virginity, a death sentence at the hands of the womenfolk seems certain. But they are granted a reprieve, on the condition that they find a living, virile man and bring him back to the village. Under the watchful eye of their grandmother’s angry spirit, the feisty but innocent pair set out into the big, wide world. Lust, love, a hot-headed strongman and Belgrade’s lecherous dance hall king await them... Mystic, comic and slightly erotic melodrama by Uros Stojanovic.
