Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The story follows an underground weapons manufacturer in Belgrade during WWII and evolves into fairly surreal situations. A black-marketeer who smuggles the weapons to partisans doesn't mention to the workers that the war is over, and they keep producing. Years later, they break out of their underground "shelter"--only to convince themselves that the war is still going on. Written by Anonymous |
