Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film is based on a novel by Serbian realist writer Stevan Sremac and depicts the atmosphere of the southern Serbian town Niš in the 19th century, in freshly liberated Serbia, not long after the end of Turkish rule. In the centre of the film there is a love story between two young people, whose love is not possible because of many differences. Coming from the richest family in the town, Zona, daughter of local chorbadzija, cannot marry ambitious goldsmith Mane, who has to make cunning plans in order to cross these social barriers and ensuing family disputes and reach happiness. The story is an adaptation of the Romeo and Juliet tale, except for its light and amusing tone and the happy end as the couple eventually get together. The dialect used throughout the film, characterized by old phrases and expressions from Turkish and Macedonian, cannot easily be understood even in the modern environment. Still Zona Zamfirova became the most popular contemporary movie in Serbia.
