Description
Summary:The film evolves around three generations of Gypsy men living along the banks of Danube, as they try to resolve their complex affairs. 80-year-olds, garbage dump gipsy “Godfather” Grga Pitić and cement dealer Zarije Destanov, have been friends for years. Zarije’s naïve son Matko comes to Grga asking for a loan for his robbery project. Unfortunately he is double-crossed by his partner, gangster Dadan, who now expects Matko’s son, Zare, to marry his miniature sister. However, Zare is in love with blonde Gipsy waitress Ida, and Dadan’s sister is also unhappy with the arrangement. Then Zarije’s sudden death seems to offer a way out for Zare, since no gypsy would have a wedding and a funeral on the same day. But Dadan delays the announcement by hiding Zarije, packed in ice, in the attic and the wedding gets underway. While guests celebrate, Dadan’s miniature sister flees her own wedding and on the run meets Grga Pitić’s son Grga Veliki and they fall in love with each other. Finally free, Zare embarks with Ida in a boat and sails down the Danube
