It is a black comedy with elements of surrealism. In this wacky and delirious political satire, the main characters, including a Croatian army general haunted by guilt and suicidal thoughts, a minister of the Croatian government who visits prison and, voluntarily, locks himself up in a museum-like cell dedicated to true patriots and a group of elderly pensioners who steal the coffin with the remains of the late Croatian president Franjo Tudjman, dare to challenge national taboos, encouraging a troubled country to engage in self-reflection.
