Contents/Summary

Summary
Shot after 1990, this comedy is supposedly based on true events that took place at the very beginning of WWII in Yugoslavia. The film’s unlikely heroes are not Yugoslav partisans, however, but two charming, stylish crooks. Glavonja – older and wiser of the duo, and Kalauz who is younger and quite naïve, but makes up for it by his courage, are inseparable friends and masters of their trade. Witty and proud of their “employment”, they are constantly in and out of the prison, with each departure and arrival passionately mourned and celebrated by their faithful wives, who literally adore them. With the beginning of the war, the two realize that the Germans have been stashing enormous amounts of stolen gold, money and artworks in Berlin. Confident in their skills they head for Berlin with the intention of robbing the famous “Hermes Bank,” where the stolen treasure is kept. After series of comical adventures, they successfully fulfill their mission and thus accomplish their “noble” revenge against the German invaders.
