A man returns to Herzegovina to reclaim his ancestral home following the fall of communism, and finds his life spinning into a frenzy following the loss of his lucky cat in director Danis Tanovic's adroit political drama. The year is 1991. Divko Buntic has spent the past 20 years in Germany, living a life of luxury. His mint Mercedes is noticeably out of place when he arrives back in Herzegovina with Azra, his gorgeous young girlfriend and Bonny, his lucky cat, and after using his clout to have his estranged wife Lucija thrown out onto the street, Divko attempts to make amends with Martin, his 20-year-old son. But everything starts to fall apart when Bonny vanishes without a trace, as the townspeople race to find the feline and collect a handsome reward. Meanwhile, trouble begins brewing as Divko and Azra drift apart, and the younger girl finds herself increasingly drawn to Martin. Amidst all of the drama, practically no one in town notices when Croatia secedes, and Serbian bombs start falling on Dubrovnik. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Luka has graduated from college, and he has traveled abroad and seen how people live there. Recently, he returned from his trip and was arrested at the border on a drug charge. They only took his passport, though. He has no job, so he hangs around with his buddies wherever he can, getting into scrapes with them as they battle punk gangs (generally losing) and cops (always losing). His big dream is to get his passport back and attend that German festival to inebriation known as Oktoberfest. However, the obstacles he faces are so daunting that by the time his mother actually obtains his passport for him, it's doubtful that he is capable of lightheartedly enjoying anything anymore. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

In this light comedy that does not have much going for it except the lead actress Sonja Savic, a young woman decides it is time to have an adult relationship with a man, and believing that her nose is too unattractive, she opts for cosmetic surgery. Along with the change in her facial configuration, she also changes from jeans to skirts -- and of course, a former boyfriend suddenly sees her in a different light. It looks as if her first adult relationship will be built on surface appearances. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Rados (Svetislav Goncic) is a young man who lives in the provinces of Yugoslavia and who has his heart set on becoming a great pianist making music for humanity, and nothing less than that. His companions at the Belgrade Academy of Music are not beset by the same economic deprivation as Rados, and they spend their time in effete pursuits, romantic liaisons, parties, and generally egocentric behavior. Rados' simmering anger starts to heat up when he sees the enormous gap between the pretensions of the students and the nature of brilliantly composed music. When he finally does vent his opinions, he is ostracized as rudely as possible. Just when everything looks fairly glum, his beloved grandfather shows up with a piano for him, and Rados is inspired to compose once again. In the meantime, he is sidetracked by his forced sexual engagements with his landlady (in lieu of rent), and is distracted that his schoolmates seem more interested in that side of him than in his qualities as a composer. He begins to lose heart, knowing he will have to decide whether to accept the status quo and live with it, or abandon his aspirations entirely. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
