Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Based on a true story and constructed as a series of flashbacks, the film follows Pinki and his childhood friend Švabo as they come of age in Belgrade in the first half of the 1990s. After apprenticeship under a small-time gangster and war criminal, the teenagers start their own booming criminal career when U.N. sanctions create a black-market for just about everything. Soon, they take over their mentor’s business as well as his girlfriend and their extreme behavior and first killing win them a guest spot on a celebrity-gangster TV talk-show “The Street Pulse” which glamorizes criminals. With their brains more and more fried by coke and fame, the boys kill anyone who gets in their way or simply on their nerves. They become increasingly callous and violent, eventually turning on each other. In the film’s dramatic climax Pinki and Švabo end up shooting each other and lying barely alive in the same rubble-strewn lot where they used to hurl stones at one another when they were kids.
