"There are many nice people in the world"...
sobot1 July 2014
...says Cule Pokorni (pokorni=obedient), a believer in the human honesty and honor. All around him, people find various ways to make money, from petty swindles to drug dealing. His best man, the Reporter, is full of phrases, but it doesn't prevent him to use company's car as his own. Even his mother, with all her rules about a woman's (her daughter-in-law's) duties to her man, forgets them when it comes to herself.

It may seem that this is just a crazy charade with immortal comedians Mija & Čkalja, and it does provide quite a few laughs, but it also reveals the dark sides of the society. People respect you only if they depend on you. Perhaps the best line is the one Cule says when the kids demand the chocolate bars he promised them: "How quickly they become men"... And in the end, Cule is alone again, with nobody who understands him, except maybe the striptease dancer, the only one not pretending to be what she is not.
