A movie about the muddled politics of the break up of Yugoslavia with roots back to WWII.
The main character was forced to leave Yugoslavia due to family politics during WWII (his family were fascists). His young wife would not follow him to Germany...he comes back 20 years later with money and a young fiancée. The rumblings of war and conflict are in the background worsening day by day. A son he has never met seduces his fiancée and as the political situation worsens she flees back to Germany with a communist Serb army captain who acted as his son's surrogate father while he was gone for 20 years...
I was put off a little by the making of the communists more or less the misunderstood normal good guys...but they don't win this one and the final message is more ambiguous than the leftie run up would lead you to believe.
Oh and the idea of the cat was wonderful.
I gave it a 6 stay with it but keep your political filters on and look at the bigger picture. With out the leftie homage and tuned a little it could have been a 10. This is your review, you may delete or edit it.
