The Sixties in Sarajevo. Dino, young man in the suburbs, tries to lighten his life with the cinema that show him an Occident full of temptations, with hypnotism lessons, and music, the rock n'roll that makes the rest vanish. Then comes Dolly Bell, lovely cabaret girl that give him the more tremendous feelings. (official distributor synopsis)

Emir Kusturica’s debut is a raw glimpse into Balkan life. Picture rundown houses you'd never set foot in, carnival workers slogging through muddy fields, and 14-year-olds smoking by a shooting range, washing down the smoke with homemade booze stolen from a drunk dad. The oppressive heat is palpable even if the camera doesn't show it. It's a bit of desperation, but in that uniquely Balkan way that makes it almost charming. ()
