- Synopsis
- At a small border-post on the Yugoslav-Albanian frontier, yet another generation of soldiers suffering the usual amount of boredom awaits the end of their service, counting the days until the moment when they will take their uniforms off for good. It is the spring of 1987 and it never even crosses their mind that they would, in fact, put them back on quite soon and go to war. These were the last days of the country called Yugoslavia. Yet no one knew that at the time. The daily routine of the army is disrupted by unusual circumstances. Frustrated and always drunk, lieutenant Safet Pasic feels a strange pain in his groins. He seeks help from the only doctor among the soldiers, Sinisa Sircevic, who finds out, very discretely, that it’s a sexually transmitted disease. Not wanting his wife to know about it and trying to find excuses why not to go home, Pasic declares a state of emergency, claiming that the Albanian army is preparing an attack against Yugoslavia. The joke transforms into war hysteria: soldiers dig trenches, Pasic grows wilder as days go by, Sinisa embarks on a dangerous liaison, and his best friend Ljuba Paunovic makes an unconditional decision to leave the army. The situation slowly runs out of control…
