| description | The first in a series of extremely popular comedies with the same main character, the film still claims the title of one of the most popular Yugoslav features with over a million viewers at the time of its release. Set in an ambience of urban satire, the film is a genuine example of mainstream mass culture in late communist Yugoslavia with its abundance of cheap humor and mild criticism of the faults of the system. The film focuses on the daily misfortunes of Belgrade civil servant Mita Pantić who has to cope with constant hassles both at work and at home. In his crowded apartment fights are common and his small salary is not nearly enough to satisfy all of the demands. His younger son is in trouble at school and dreams of a second-hand Honda. The older one is an established advanced student of astronomy, while his daughter, a qualified solicitor, unsuccessfully looks for a job. As things get worse both at home and at work, Mita sees the football pools as his only chance of escaping from his predicament, trapped between his poor administrator’s salary and his stressful, costly life. |
