This is a very early (graduation) film of one of the best contemporary Serbian directors, Srdjan Karanovic. A village melodrama with tragic ending is presented with just the right dose of irony. The director's great talent is already visible. The entire cast is from the village, there are no professionals, and that gives the flavor of authenticity to this work. The additional spice to the movie is an old Gypsy violinist, who sings the old and passionate song (Pogledaj me, nevernice - Look at me, unfaithful) of love and death in a broken voice, and accompanying himself with a badly tuned violin. Nevertheless, the overall impression is great and somewhat revealing of the quality of the future, more mature works of this significant author.
