Early Works

Four young people set out with a dream of revolution. Three of them are men and one is a woman named Jugoslava. They have taken the book Capital by Karl Marx as their guide. Their aim is to wake the consciousness of the workers and the peasants. They travel to remote villages and to factories. The people they meet show no interest in what they are saying. The young ones cannot agree among themselves either. There is no organisation behind them and no plan. Along the way they come up against their own weaknesses. What they attempt comes to nothing. The revolution does not happen. In the end it is Jugoslava who is sacrificed. She is left as the witness of the failed attempt. The film was made in the wake of the student movement of sixty eight. It won the Golden Bear in Berlin and was banned and taken to court at home. Milja Vujanović and Bogdan Tirnanić appear in the eighty seven minute film, a Yugoslav production by Želimir Žilnik.
