However, when the Nazis actually move in, things take a turn for the worse and the group's only concern now is to stay alive under the first horrors of the war. Through chance and necessity, these people from the dregs of society grow out of their meaningless destinies and become unlikely war heroes . The film was a great success thanks to its unprecedented comic treatment of the mythic partisan struggle during WWII, and was soon followed by a sequel focusing on the same group of characters. 655 4 Fiction films 260 Yugoslavia : |bArt Film Beograd ; Inex Film Beograd, |c1983. 041 srp |jeng 952 |00 |10 |40 |50 |70 |8FL |990382FL |bFL |d2016-11-25 |l0 |r2016-11-25 |w2016-11-25 |yDVD-ROM 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6FL_RECORD_0568_000000000000000 |70 |8FL |9145657FL |bFL |d2019-02-14 |l0 |oFL Record 0568 |pHU_OSA_00002315.mp4 |r2021-11-04 |w2019-02-14 |yDIGIFILM |zAccess Copy, MP4 format |cAudio Visual 920 01 7XO3J5X4 966 True |bHU_OSA_00002315 |cDigitally Anywhere / With Registration
