Slobodan Negic plays "The Professor," a brainy kid born to wealth. His opposite number is the homeless, orphaned "Cavka" (Yugoslavian for "Blackbird"), portrayed by Marko Ratic. In the tradition of the "Our Gang" comedies of yore, the Professor is forbidden by his snooty parents from associating with such riffraff as Cavka. How the boys outwit their elders and have a wonderful time forms the nucleus of this carefree comedy-drama. This Yugoslav-British co-production, was released to English-speaking theaters only a few months after its European debut. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

1989  
 
While a boisterous wedding party is going on in the village above them, an archaeological team, led by a doddering old professor, digs beneath. They have unearthed an old Roman-era artifact, a slab bearing some inscriptions which the professor rapidly translates while his slighly drunk coworkers look on, uncomprehending. His excitement about what he has found is too much for him, and he collapses with a heart attack. He awakens to find himself in a sort of afterlife state. The slab he discovered and was so excited about marked the entryway to the classical underworld. Now he is in a position to meet and speak with the spirits that have been trapped there. Alas, he finds that they are just as silly and petty as the peasants partying above what he (and they) believe to be his corpse. The party is still going on several days later when the professor's son arrive to take care of his father's estate. He is enraged to discover that his father has left all his archaeological work and his house to the villagers and starts burning and breaking his father's things. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
