On behalf of the actors,

who came from Belgrade,

to perform this jolly play for you...

The representative of the Circle

of Serbian Sisters, please come.

Our troupe has decided to renounce...

To renounce the earnings to

the benefit of your organization.

Stanislav... what is this?!

Can you explain to us

what's going on here?

I have nothing to do with it.

Ask Lale!

-I taught you to take the money...

-How dare you?

He started twisting his arm!

That colonel!

That moron! Idiot!

He's, completely...

The van's waiting for you outside.

You perform for the army.

-What about our money?

-This is a misunderstanding.

As far as I can see, you have

donated that money to charity.

-I didn't at all.You started to...

-What did I do?

Please... don't perform this kind

of rubbish for the fighters.

I suggest you perform

a historical Serbian piece.

-Is that clear?

-Yes, sir.

We'll take twice the moneythere.

The army is filthy rich.

-Where do they get the money?

-Looting, of course.

-Want to continue?

-I'm through with you.

-Zaki?

-I don't feel like it.

"A Serbian historical piece."

Why on earth did I get

myself into this?

She'll infect us all.

What if we perform "Kadinjaea"?

You know "Ten on one..,"

Can even that be possible,

comrade?

That's from communist times. Here,

when they hear "communism"...

-They go crazy.

-That's the end of my patriotic list.

What about Sterija? You know...

"The Death of Stefan Deeanski"?

I know that one.

I played Zorka at the colloquium.

What about us,

who didn't do the colloquium?

-I know Milorad's lines as well.

-You don't say. Bravo!

-Lale can play him, for instance.

-I will. Great.

I'm hit!

-Am I wounded?

-No, you're not.

-You've been hit by a clod of mud.

-I'm hit?!

-Djuro, how much longer?

-We're here!

-Have a seat.

-Hello.

We are actors.

We have come from Belgrade!

-You brought the cigarettes?

-No!

-Where's your commanding officer?!

-Who? Major Zmijanac?

Over here! Faster!

Get down on the ground!

To the school! Go! Go!

Wait here,

until the situation calms down.

-Where will we perform?

-Here, come on.

Over here.

Come here.

Come.

This is where you will perform.

But... how?

There are wounded people here.

They won't bother you.

I have to go.

Men! Follow me!

Zorka, don't be afraid!

I will set you free!

It's not bad... Hello.

Sir...

-Sir...

-Yes?

We're from Belgrade.

Really? Me too.

What can I do for you?

Do you know of a place for...

Where we could concentrate?

-These are our famous actors...

-I'm Sonja.

You're from Belgrade, too?

Wonderful.

What are you doing here?

I've been Called to help out.

What can I tell you?

Go to the operating theatre.

There's nobodythere.

Doctor! Over here!

Excuse me.

What is it?

-F***ing "eighty-two"...

-Bring him to me right away!

Don't worry, we'll save you.

Pray to God.

God has no time.

I'm way at the end of the line.

There are those

waiting in front of me.

Do I have a fever?

I'm burning up.

She'll infect us all.

Do you want my jacket?

Lale, there's a doctor here

who can help.

You've brought us

to a real fine place, Stanislav.

Nobody mentioned any of this when

we negotiated the details of the tour.

Oh, really!

Thank you, doctor.

You're wonderful.

-You shouldn't have.

-Thankyou.

I'd rather not, thankyou.

Right about now...

Starting from dusk, until dawn...

A ceasefire begins.

The devil only knows whythat is.

Both sides just fire

random shots, anyway.

This entire war is

irrational in manyways.

First, the warring parties

consist of the same people.

They share the same language,

mentality and feelings.

They don't differ in any way.

It would be difficult to shoot a movie

about this war.

Not only because of the costumes,

but generally.

In a real war movie you can tell

the difference between the two sides.

They look different,

they act differently. While here...

The Serbs, the Croats, the Muslims...

they are all the same.

Identical people.

The same people.

Doctor...

There's no need...

You already washed your hands.

When we take things as they really

are, my illustrious master Stefan,

...that is exactly

what a ruler should do.

For example, had your high kingdom

not taken the illustrious Marija,

...then Serbia would not have

the Severina region.

If one of your sons would get

one region from the Greeks,

...and another son

a region from the Bosniaks.

-Imagine howvast Serbia would be!

-Right on! Serbia!

Your words are wise

and patriotic,Teofil.

We shall find Dusan another girl.

As pretty as this one.

And of gentler birth

and a fine upbringing.

Dusan may get married

against your will.

And then,

your shame shall be endless.

Dusan is an obedient child.

But he might not be

in the heat of passion.

No answer from father yet

Oh...

I have never in my life

been so impatient.

Zorka is a girl capable of mystifying

the most rational ones among us.

Zorka is a girl capable of mystifying

the most rational ones among us.

She can stir up

the thickest of blood.

Bring Zorka!!

-We want Zorka!

-We want Zorka!

Stop it!

Go on.

Zorka is the only creature... that

makes me indifferent to my kingdom.

And yet...

I cannot have her, unless I am king.

And yet...

I cannot have her, unless I am king.

-Bring Zorka!

-We want Zorka!

Site of my bitter bliss.

Oh, site full of pain and sorrow!

Allow me to cry at my mother's grave

and lift the burden off my heart.

Way to go, Zorka, my love!

He does not understand

the affections of a young girl!

The tongue is frightened

to speak on the heart's behalf!

To openly say

how it pines for Milorad!

You will not capture her,

you damn dragon!

You will not capture her,

you damn dragon!

Milorad is prepared to die for her!

-Surrender! Surrender!

-Milorad!

-Have no fear! I shall rescue you!

-From whom?

-From the dragon who will eat you!

-Milorad, eat my cock!

You've turned into a fly!

-Truth is bright, evil is shady!

-And it fucks your lady!

Zorka... the earth is big!

But love is greater

than the earth, and the sun!

But love is greater

than the earth, and the sun!

Life is in the heart!

-Call the doctor!

-What happened?

-Call the doctor!

-What happened?

It's nothing,just a little scratch.

You think we've come to this hell

to get attacked byyour soldiers?!

And you think my army is supposed

to watch all the sh*t you...

What did you say?

What did you say?

They get killed on a daily basis.

They're not shitheads for whom

you can perform any old rubbish!

And what are you?

A theatre critic? How dare you!?

Sonja, please. Major, sir, in spite

of all the misunderstandings...

We are prepared to forget about it...

and part with you on a friendly basis.

We are prepared to forget about it...

and part with you on a friendly basis.

You will pay what you owe us,

and we will leave.

Pay? Do you know that in that case

you become war profiteers?

-You could face a firing squad.

-I'm sorry?

-You could face a firing squad.
