Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Directed by one of the members of the so-called Prague school of Yugoslav film directors, this urban drama with lots of sad humor is situated in Belgrade of the late 1970s. The main character Floyd, a race driver in the “national class,” lives with his parents in a Belgrade suburb. Driving in this lowest and least respected category does not satisfy Floyd’s ambitions anymore, but in order to advance to a higher class, he must win an important race. The problem is that he has just received his draft papers, and in order to postpone his service he tries for the nth time to enrol at the university, this time at the Film Academy. He also claims that he is not fit for service and persuades a guy suffering from bad kidneys, to take medical examinations instead of him. Floyd’s other problem is his “official” girlfriend, who is pregnant and expects him to marry her, while he would rather flirt with idle female students. Eventually, all of Floyd’s plans fail and he looses both the final race and his freedom.
