How the War Started on My Island (1996) - full transcript
Although being one of the first movies to take humoristic approach towards violent break-up of Yugoslavia, this motion picture is partly based on real events that took place in September of 1991. Few months after Croatia seceded from Yugoslavia, Federal military installations are still present with previously recruited Croatian boys trapped inside. One such installation is a garrison on a small Dalmatian island, commanded by Major Aleksa Milosavljevic. Besieged by local militia, Major Aleksa threatens to blow up ammunition depots with half an island in case of any hostile action. During the stalemate, art historian Blaz Gajski comes from Zagreb in order to rescue his son from the barracks.
HOW THE WAR STARTED ON MY ISLAND
-VVV-
to go out of the Yugoslav Federation, and the establishment of an independent Croatia
and independent republic
On the territory of Croatia, there were still military barracks of the Yugoslav People's Army
which recognize only the laws of the Yugoslav Federation,
and ignored the request of the citizens to leave the country
and to release the Croatian youth serving in these military barracks
"...based on police source, the reason
not to trigger bus is unknown?
"But more likely inability to operate and"
"And in other areas tensions did not ease during the night"
"From time to time there was opened fire from light weaponry
but there were no reports of deaths and material damage"
"According to police, it comes to provocative shots"
"And yet the movement in volatile regions is your own responsibility"
"The decision to block the YPA barracks, is applied in many Croatian towns"
"Our reporters reported that the entrances of the military sites are blocked by citizens
who peacefully demonstrate..."
"And today, several barracks, dozens of beardless youths
fled to freedom. They testified that many of their comrades
are unwilling to fight against their fellow citizens."
"Many of them say that they understand the situation"
"The newly established crisis staffs offer them shelter,
clothes, and organize their journey to their homes"
Excuse me, I beg of you, do you know where is the army "folk hero"?
Forgive me! Do you know where is the army "folk hero"?
No!
There is no "folk hero"!
Run away!
Hooligans!-Excuse me.
Every day, they brake down one-Can you lend me a hand?
What do you want?
I am looking for the army "folk hero" - Are you a soldier?
What soldier?
I am an art specialist I must quickly find this army. -Wonderful!
You would not believe me, you know? I paint a little bit
I just jot down some associations canvas
But there are no specialists here.Look, if you have a moment
to glance into the studio to see some of my work.
I'm in a hurry, my son is a soldier here
I'd like to sneak him out of there somehow
Comrade Major, soldier Sven Gaiski
At your orders, I gathered all the transistors in the army
Soldiers wish you a good reception and a pleasant listening
Get out you animal!
Sir!
And where are you going?
Over there.I'm going to the gate.
Are you crazy? You'd best stay here.
Alright, you better not cry later!
You cannot,comrade.You must go.
Can any of your seniors?
I'm telling you they can't.I can't let anyone, now go!
How about the duty officer?
Can't, how do I go from here!
Flee from here, someone might come and shoot you. Move!
Listen, son. I'm the father of your colleague, Sven Gaiski
I'd like to see him. -You can't! Negotiations are ongoing
???? ?? ??????.-?? ???? ?? ??!
Just for a moment. -Are you deaf!
You must not go near here! If the major comes,
We'll be in trouble, you, me. All of us!
Did I not tell you to stay put.
What...what are you gloomy about?
Come on, Roko will fix everything.
Roko? -Roko Papak, Chairman of the Crisis
He and Murko are negotiating inside.
They are pressing that crazy major
Sit down!
I gotta piss, man. I gotta go.
There is no going, not until the major returns!
Gaiski! -Please, comrade Major
Is that how you hold a rifle!
Come on!
Aleksa,listen!
What, Roko, what do you want again?
Are you sending me on a betrayal! -What betrayal?
Who the heck is talking about this, Aleksa!
For you, I am just a comrade Major. -Leave that now,
You must give up the army, possibly until noon
To allow soldiers to catch the ferryboat in 7:00 o'clock
Civilian clothes are here, ferryboat tickets and the bus are also.
And later we'll celebrate all of this... -First!
"Combine the wires to the terminals of the machine"
Second.
"Put the handle in the slot of the inductor"
Third.
"Turn the handle of the inductor
two or three rotations per second"
"For around 10 seconds"
Fourth.
"Leave the key on the bed"
"Fire is performed by turning the key to "ignition"
Listen to me, Roko!
This here is a machine for blowing up
If someone pulled a number against the army here
I'll be buried alive, blown to smithereens
Everything will be gone!
You, us. And half of the town
You attack all you like
Are you crazy Aleksa!
Comrade Major from YPA!
Listen, we've known each other since 10 years
You here are a well known man.
You live here, so do your friends
All of your bodybuilders. Your wife is from here!
Is that so? And because of this I must go to your side?
So that you are my commander! -Leave that, who knows, who commands who
Only 10 days ago you were replacing hoses from dishwashers!
And now you want to lead?
You, the dishwasher, command me-the professional!
Messenger
Connect this!
You really want to lift the whole town.
I've told you my opinion, do what you want.
I really gotta go take a leak. -Nope!
In this army you won't even take a piss!
There they are. Get up!
Soldiers! Do not let YPA turn you into criminals.
We are not against you. We just want freedom.
Croatia does not require foreign armies.
Officers, let the soldiers go outside
and to embrace with their peers
They should have arrived here 3 hours ago
Are they even on their way?
I can't be everywhere.
Well, what are you doing? -Sir, Papak.
Where were you? I was worried for you guys.
From what group are you? -I'm from Blaj Gaiski.
55th-6th
It's fine. What's important is to...
My son is here in the army. I must get him out of here.
So you're not that drummer?
Where are they...the show stopped and this guy isn't a drummer
Did you hear what I said? I need help... -I heard, why are you yelling
Forgive me, I'm losing my nerves. -You think I'm not?
The most important thing is patience. You must wait!
Stick to the program, it plays 24 hours daily and is of quality.
Roko! We're really late.
I'm from "Meteor". And my little guy is from "Door"
And now I present you William Shoda from "Meteor"
And his friend from the group "Door"
What do you think, ain't this a little dynamic!
Nonsense, let's get back to headquarters.
Zdravko, we are going into the crisis, you keep an eye here
What do you mean you don't have?
I see, you don't have the number of the army.
From where could I get it?
Alright, apologies. Goodbye!
CRISIS HEADQUARTERS
What's wrong?
I'm looking for Mr.Papak -He's inside.
Mr Papak!
You're the only one who has the telephone number for the army.
It's very important to call someone
and to explain the whole situation.
My son... -Who should I call, to that crazy Aleksa!
He doesn't want to talk to anybody, except for the commanders.
Don't be like that, you know far too well that I'm in the encirclement
I haven't been home
Alright tell me..
He wouldn't even dare to talk with the commanders
Well yes!
Central...Ioco, is that you?
Listen, you have connections with the army
I am from the crisis headquarters!
Can you stop Aleksa, cut his call
Cut everything.
Hello?
Hello!
Not me, him!
Come on, that way!
Smartass!
Enough with this!
Give the boys a beer.
Dante, come on now, its your turn.
Why does Dante have to speak nonsense for the 5th time.
It's necessary, but you don't understand that
If he leaves the army, and maybe everyone else, is that good
And now fellow citizen Marinko Ivaq, will recite poetry
Good afternoon.
This guy's my brother.
My home.
I have a sibling
and in my heart I hold
and hills and valleys...
wherever I may go
vainly I ask
and cope with my pain
Is something happening there? -As if!
One's moving around, another is doing something else
What are you making, coffee? -Comrade Major, I'm on duty.
You are not needed here, call the corporal, quickly! -On it!
What are you doing here? Leave this! -Sir!
It's still not working, comrade Major.
Pick that pistol and clean it.
to shine like...
To shine! -Yes sir!
Stop playing with that pistol, just clean it!
What are you doing?...Get ouf of here.
Come on, move along!
Come on!
What are you doing?
You want someone to push you?
And the way you're laid down
Give me that!
I've told you a hundred times!
You lay like this,
you carefully stretch your legs
Your left hand under the rifle,
?????? ???? ??? ???????, stock of right shoulder
Forefinger of your right hand on the trigger
You aim and prepare to shoot
Do you understand?
Must I repeat myself.
On position! Quickly!
Shoot!
Shoot!
It jammed!
It jammed!?
You've gone on duty without bullets!
And now you will jam.
Strip everything.
And footcloth!
And personal belongings!
The bold one, is that your father? -Left that?
What...-I told you not to touch!
What...
Be a hero, will you? And on duty you're without bullets!
Acting a hero in front of the firing squad.
Come on, get in quickly now!
Faster!
All belongings inside the drawer! -Yes, sir!
As for that guy, you deal with that!
It's good..
Mr. Papak,
In front of the army something's going on, we must take measures
We'll get to it.
Here it is! -Where'd you find it?
This one's good!
Everything will be fine.
And?
After 1 minute, at exactly 5 o'clock, they will cut of your electricity!
And?
There's nothing else!
See, what did I tell you!
If you let go of your soldiers and...-Is that so?
You want me to give up!-Well.
Well, alright.
Messenger!
Unit!
What did I tell you?
This he did not need!
That's enough, get down here
Come on!
Come on, its your turn now. It was alright.
Everything as we negotiated.
I don't know how to do this, Roko. -There's nothing to be afraid of,
you go there and talk on the microphone, so that he can hear you
can't someone else do it instead?
Who else?
You're his wife and what you will tell him,
will propbably influence him. -True!
Mr. Papak!
Mr. Papak!
Here, I have written a letter to his commander
Inside I have written everything with details on the situation.
Now you must officially send a messenger...
You're getting on my..
you know what!
Don't you see we have work to do.
And so what, you want that Aleksa to make a mess?
No, jeez, what should I tell him?
About what we talked about.
To let the soldiers go,
to return home, to return to his people here
Aleksa!
Aleksa!
Alright, you hear me, and now the other thing
What other thing? -What we negotiated, to get back home.
Aleksa! Come back home.
Is he alright? -Yes, keep going about that why he must return
Aleksa, go back home.
I've prepared you nettle stew
He loves it. -Not that, woman...
Tell him to return home because of you and these people here
Aleksa!
Aleksa!
Return home.
It's me Lucia telling you this.
Do it for these people here.
But also for me too!
Remember everything well, as it was, Aleksa.
When you first arrived here
to serve, I was still going to school
When you saw me for the first time, I knew
that we would be together until death do us part
And my mother, my father and even my brothers,
said that I shouldn't marry an officer
but I did not care about that
and we lived well
You went every day to work
as I was working at home, I cooked
And so you fell in love with my dishes, this town, this country
And how I fell in love with you!
So did the whole town like you.
Aleksa, this is your place
this is your country
Here is your house, in which I await for you.
So please come out!
Let those soldiers go.
Look at these people here
There he is. -They've been here since 3 days!
They are staying here and waiting for you.
And I've been waiting for you for six days.
You must tell them where you were those other 3 days while you were gone
No, you must tell them
I know very well where you've been
You've been with that bitch,
with that bitch
with that musical teacher
That's what you told me last year
You've been on a military assignment, eh?
When you've been with her for 4 days, you think I didn't know
I know well what you've been doing there,
but no more. No!
I stay home and you go around doing things behind my back!
But remember this. Don't show yourself to me
You do not have to come home... -Major,
I found the malfunction. Tomorrow it will be fixed.
Go!
...because if I see you, I will crush your head like a snake, you hear?
As for that emptyheaded woman...
I will break her spine
I will gouge her eyes out, rip her tongue and...
Just let me see her. You listen to me well!
Well...that escalated quickly!
It's your own fault!
You brought her here!
Hey mister!
Can you call someone?
Thanks, I've already inserted a coin. -By the way, you can see the pictures.
What pictures...I don't understand what's going with...
Is that you?
Everything is alright.
they should release him any moment now
Do not panic!
Everything will go smooth.
Changing the guard.
Faster!
Mr.Papak, please!
I also beg you, don't you see we have work to do
There he is.
What should I tell him?
Koshava, koshava...here is Bonaca, Bonaca, over and out!
Bona...Bon...
Kosha..over.
Major, I have made contact
The situation at Bonaca is serious!
they cut us off, they will stop the water too
What should we do, over
Tell him to do something before someone comes
Do not...before someone comes..
someone from....here
Who?
Who to come? -Who, who...!
Come up with something.
Do not do anything...
Who?
Don't do anything..
Colonel...Kostadinovich
...with the orders
Fine!
We'll have to wait for colonel Kostadinovich
And you fix this, you can see it doesn't work! Fast, come on!
Run!
Are we having a stroll? Come on, move it!
Come on boys.
Now let it go
There, now we can see it better
Mr. Munita!
I will try to go to the gate,
and ask a solider to give the letter to my son
A letter! That his father has gone crazy. Enough nonsense
Why, did you not see how that guy took the rifle.
Didn't you see how that guy looked like?
There's Roko. If he lets you in, I don't care
Mr. Papak
I would like to ask...-Well, friend, patience
Here, join us
Your students from the bodybuilder club are calling for you.
Together we exercised and trained on the equipment
Do you see how it is today
you're holding us on target. What are you fighting for, Aleksa!
Yugoslavia is no more! It is now Croatia.
Separate and independent. Go outside.
Even though you're an officer from YPA,
you were a member. Remember, Croatia is your home!
Well?
Nothing.
He didn't even come out of the office -What did I tell you?
Now its vocal-instrumental club "Door"'s turn.
??? ????????? ???? ????? ???? ?? ????? "??????"
Aleksa, get out of there!
This is what "Door" recommends you
We will always sing for you your favorite song
And now we shall play it,
you will remember those days, so that never again will you think of killing
Boys, we're starting! One and a two..
I feel like something is going away.
Your brain is going away..
Get up! There he is.
What?
What's he doing?
There he is!
Now that worked.
Crying!
Goddamn it...
So little was left for him to surrender.
What did I tell you!
Everyone abandoned me!
My wife betrayed me,
my friends left me,
The music is killing me
Only you, you did not!
Do not worry
Father will give you as much as you need!
When the time comes
Don't you start
We'll beat your father with only a song. This hurts him the most.
Did you see last night? He missed it so much, to give up the army
Mr.Munita, I can't do this anymore.
You again? You always want something as if you're more important
Can't you be like everyone else and mind your..-Look he's coming out!
With that machine!
He's spinning the handle
Picking up the key.
He's gonna shoot!
Alright.
Let's run away.
Coward!
Look, a boat.
A boat?
Some idiot is going toward the army
What do you mean he's going!
Look...
This we did not need.
Hey, you there!
In this emergency situation,
I am responsible for the whole town.
For everyone here, even for you
And you're dangerous to yourself and those around you
That crazy Major will think we're attacking him by sea
Who knows what he'll do
This is why it's best if you do not show around the army
When your son goes out, we are here to help
You do not need him here
And because of that, tomorrow you will immediately
get aboard on the very first ferryboat and go home
Is that clear?
Go home!
Slowly get back on your way. You won't do no good here.
Good afternoon.
Anyone there?
What do you want?
Excuse me for asking, but can I use the telephone
Oh, its you? Absolutely, feel free
After you end your call, come back to me
I have a wonderful home made rakia, eh?
Listen, here I can't do much
tomorrow I'm coming back home
What do you mean you don't get it, I can't get close.
I am guilty.
Yes, you're the smartest, you always know best
you know when it will start and...
Listen to what I'm saying, I can't...
Hello?
HELLO?
Thank you for the phone. -No problem.
Was it nice?
Thank you once again. I must go. -Wait!
What about the pictures?
There's no art specialist visiting daily.
Please don't feel discouraged, I really don't have the time
And you made this?
????? ?????.
???? ??????
...is accusing me, because I did not let him in Germany
when he was called in the army
I let him go, they were going to accuse him for desertion
and he wouldn't have been able to come back
And as for that picture over there
I need two months
I couldn't figure out how an aeroplane carrier looked like
And that is why who knows what he would have ended up in Germany
This is New York.
I've never been to New York.
But ever since last year there was a lot said about it
And you're with an uniform!
The Croatian one? I haven't finished it yet, but I plan to
You're a major.
When I went to study, I told the old man, that I want to go to academy
He agreed.
And he send me to the army. Told me: "You want academy, you get academy."
Only that its free.
Major from YPA!
I was once a superior of this building
This was once home of YPA
Now this is my studio
How many people passed through here
Here stood that guy from "Silver Wings"
And later that other guy, you know him for sure,
an artist, really good
Wait, wait...Boris
You're a senior officer
you could go in the army and get my son out
Everyone knows me there. I can't do anything.
I wouldn't even be able to get myself out
It's best if you do it yourself
If I had a uniform, I would have
I'll lend you mine
But you'll need balls for this.
If they find out, they will accuse you as a spy
And you know what they do to spies during war!
Listen, Mono! This person is looking for...
Boro, you really have gone crazy
Boris, with this uniform you can't move around town
This is the only I have
This guy has an idea
You again? What have you come up with now
Dear sir, I've already told you, go home
Look! Mr.Boris will lend me his uniform
And from you I want you to give me that war vehicle
so that I can go to the army and talk with a certain someone
But first. The vehicle has been recolored completely
Second. With whom would you rather talk, with that sick one?
Don't you start also
Boro, why didn't you at least tell him?
I told him, but this...if the guy has courage, let him try
Let him try. -You people are crazy,
They'll shoot you the moment they set sights.
And then I'll be the guilty one
Tomorrow on the first ferryboat and as we planned. -Wait!
There's something here. Come with me.
Listen to me!
Fine!
You will get your vehicle and a driver, but...
you will have to do something for us
Remove that uniform.
How will you deal with the language?
No problem, I was a soldier
This is not the only problem, the greeting, the discipline
There's no other way!
Not like that. More serious, you're a major! Like this!
Much better.
Do you accept reports?
I remember that also
Don't forget to greet
What will I talk about there!
You won't talk much
For what? -What have you been
listening to for the past 10 years?
Slogans! The most important is slogans.
Which slogans?
You've been in the party right?
Which slogans are best? -When was this, I have forgotten
You've forgotten!?
You know everything. Here -The situation
in the country is getting worser and worser
That's it. Exactly!
The world is eating itself...I don't know
This is very good.
Listen to this: The enemy inside, backed by the world reaction!
Not bad.
Be careful with this: Crazy ambitions for crazy leaders
This one's good too, but it can't
only be political.Needs some war kind too
Say: Let's get ready for battle,at highest level
Wait, wait, you'll like this:
We need to clean up our bills with all traitors
You wouldn't be wrong
You could even yell at any soldier
Either he isn't shaved, hasn't prepared.
-Doesn't matter, whatever it is
Here are some stars
You need to be a colonel!
Colonel?
At morning everyone is in position
and look at the demonstration
At the beach no one looks
We need just get over to the boat,
And to pass the bay. And no one will be able to do anything
Why are you such a coward! You can at least stroke.
It's better this way.
That's not a gray-olive green color
-Who the hell looks at that, come on!
The model isn't from YPA!
As if you know, come on!
Get over here.
Don't panic. Don't panic.
Aleksa is watching us from above. Don't look there!
Are we clear?
Yes. I am...
Major Kostadinovich
-Not just Major, we said colonel!
Colonel, there's no pistol!
What, what do you mean you have no pistol?
Catch!
No one gave me.
Here you go comrade Major!
-There's colonel Kostadinovich, get prepared.
I'm listening, Major!
Why did you not hand him a pistol?
-I won't give him a pistol!
Why don't you? You're the one with a pistol
Don't give it to him now, don't you see that he's watching
Into the bunker, there I will hand it
-Wait, guys, waait!
We need to be more happy, to avoid suspicion
Happy, happy..come on..
The machine to start, hurry
Here it is! Be careful, its charged!
Button that -Let's go.
Maybe it's best if we give up
Well crap, won't work anymore, friend
Listen.
If you give up now, they will think that we kidnapped you
That we killed you, or god knows what
You know what he is capable of!
Come on people, enough of this. Be happy. Happy!
You coming? -I'm coming..I'm Major...
We said Colonel, COLONEL.
-Alright, alright! Colonel Kostadinovich!
What will he be?
I will be Martin, Slovenian.
Why exactly Slovenian?
-If he speaks Croatian, they'd find out he's ours
For three years I was a bartender in Ljubljana
and I speak better than a Kekec and Moica
(slovene names) brought together
Come on, let's be smart and do this already
It's fine like this
They are in.
What's he doing now?
Nothing.
Wait!
Why are you so stiff, come on get out!
Get off!
Some kind of a soldier is looking into Blaj
-What soldier?
Why is he staring?
How should I know. Maybe he likes to.
Hey, comrade!
Hows it hanging?
Will you smoke "Marlboro"?
Yeah, sure one wouldn't hurt
Hey buddy, got another cigarette?
Sure.
What's happening outside? It's been two months already and no signs
There is nothing to listen to
Here, we're coming from the commandment in Split
but they also don't know what's going on
There's no way they could know
They are talking about something with Martin
What are they talking about?
Here, see for yourself!
Is it true that in Split the women are best looking?
Women?
For them I'm ready to give everything
Comrade Colonel,
??.?????????,2917-13 division is ready for inspection
Personnel there, saluted Major Aleksa Milosavljevic
Welcome, Colonel
Did you have any problems with those outside?
No, no!
I haven't.
Quick!
Put on your helmets!
Fast!
Here you go, Colonel
Attention!
Salute to the left!
Colonel!
Combatant review!
He's getting to know the soldiers.
This is a combatant review
Ain't you a smart one!
Where's your button?
-Here you are, Colonel, soldier Mustafa Isasa
I lost it. I didn't have time to sew it back.
For such things, a soldier should be able to find time.
Yes sir, Colonel!
Why aren't you shaved?
What are you so stiff about?
You better go shave right now, on the double!
Where are your other soldiers?
-Some are on position, some are guarding, Colonel
Get me to the position right now. -Sir,
the speech?
What speech?
To raise the morale!
Fine, fine.
Here.
Fellow soldiers,
the situation in the country is complicated
The enemy never sleeps
And because of that we need
to be awake in order to save
the biggest achievements that our People's Liberation Movement made
And that is...
brotherhood and unity!
I know it's far from your homes
I'm talking to you as a senior,
but not only as a senior, we are also parents
Do you see,
I also have a son your age
He's also a soldier
and I am concerned for him
And because of that kids,
be disciplined
Don't ask pointless questions and...
everything will end up well
That's it!
Colonel,
clever speech
We're going on position.
Attention!
You're free to go!
Should I start?
Yes, you may.
First the song or... -No! First
tell him that, which we talked about
I find it easier to sing, so if you can...
I'm afraid that those people are deaf
Fine, fine.
Aleksa!
Your friend Spomenka is talking to you.
Whom by this moment, thought she knew you
I've been teaching for 10 years singing by now,
harmony, love not violence!
Do you see, it's not our victory that this is about.
The enemy inside, backed by the gloomy global response
acts against our brightest ideals
The crazy ambitions of their leaders,
Are falling down like a tower of cards
...and give up on your criminal intentions.
I have not taught you how to hate
But to love!
This one really teaches love alright.
Everyone knows this.
Do this because of our love
You dumb bitch!
Emptyhead!
Aleksa, leave that nest of evil
go outside... -Well, I won't until I am alive!
You better not move from there, you hear me!
Please, Aleksa, Please!
If you go out because of
this bitch I will leave you
It is very important...
...bullshit!
I curse you, get out!
Don't come out
for anything in the world
See what will happen if you get out!
Murko, what are you waiting for, stop those two!
You brought them, you deal with them!
Is this the front line? -Yes, Colonel
But these aren't the only ones which the army has
Let me show you, Colonel
how we can effectively make defense
Here you are, Colonel.
Listen, Roko.
if I see her again on this set,
you will be dealing with me!
Well Roko, what did I tell you!
You haven't told me anything.
Martin is doing well
He's got a lot of soldiers around him
It looks like he's instructing to them how to escape
I put her on the roof
white, soft,
She was naked, completely naked
Her nipples...
her nipples erected...
And I...
sucked on them, do you understand?
And the roof was slippery
and in order to make it not so slippery
I put one of my legs on one shoulders
the other...
You don't understand!
Come!
Up, up.
You.
Get up here.
So!
Lay down.
One of my legs...
...on one of your shoulders.Like so!
The other...
...on the other shoulder.
Now you get it?
And now you work.
And she was moaning like a pig...
...and the only YPA, that should be the roots of...
Releasing the pressure, Colonel
Attention!
Colonel, should I prepare the car?
What's up with you, we aren't even half ready
Here, Colonel
Where were we?
Oh yeah, how I was fucking Stepanovich
Here, Colonel, this is the machine for blasting
This is the only real ensuring
With just one single movement in this room
within a second everything will be up in the sky
Let's see them attack as much as they like
The wires are tied to the machine terminals
joined and buried with explosives
The handle of the inductor will turn two to three rotations per second
for around 10 seconds
Then he sets the key on the bed
and perform by turning the ignition key to position...
Alright, I got it already...
Excellent!
Why am I even mentioning this, Colonel,
when you know better than me
These explosives, is someone guarding them?
-Of course, Colonel!
On duty are the most capable of soldiers
Have a look for yourself, Colonel
Open up!
Here, Colonel
That's it!
If it weren't for this, you would have heard a shooting
Except for this, I've mined two more
The system for chain explosion is...my idea
What do you think Colonel?
Exceptional, ingenious!
Is this all of the soldiers you have?
Of course, Colonel
All of them?
Except for that one who is in prison.
But I do not rely on him as a soldier.
He was on duty without ammunition
and did not fulfil an order
I still haven't decided if he should be shot or not
Take me to him right now.
Of course, Colonel
Come on, what are you waiting for!
Attention!
What are you...
Mind your words, traitor!
In the most difficult moments
of our army and you turn your back
Don't think you will pass without punishment!
We got you,
solidarity with those outside, and this is treason!
I will personally make sure you receive your punishment
and this is none other than a shooting
I've seen enough, Colonel.
Take me to the office right away.
-As you wish, Colonel!
That's my father!
What are those two doing?
Which two?
What's Martin doing?
He's still talking to them
in Slovenian. -Let him talk.
as long as he doesn't sing!
He's still here.
He's here!
Damned loud noise!
That's that crazy poet,
he's been a nuisance every day
Why did you not shut him up?
-How, when the Major doesn't let us shoot him!
Slow down with the poetry.
As it is with us, so is for him.
I think it's best with that...
...from where was that,
from Vardar..yes..
Come on, we're starting
As loud as possible! Three-Four..
Come see, Martin has gone mad!
There's no stopping now!
What did I tell you!
Come on Dante, why'd you go silent?
Get down here. They'll see now!
Where are "Door"? Door!
Attention!
We're continuing boys, louder..
We've silenced them, nobody will hear them now
But now we won't be able to hear each other...
What'd you say?
Colonel, you can now give me the orders
and after that we'll have lunch and...
And so.
I have nothing handwritten in me
Smart!
Smart, Colonel
So then, you have verbal orders
What is our task?
All of the explosives to be
transported outside of the army
What, all of them?
Yes, all of them!
And to where?
That I cannot say.
I understand, Colonel
So it's military secret.
You can't tell me.
I cannot!
-Understood.
I understood completely, Colonel.
Everything is clear as day.
We're breaking the rulers, aren't we!
I cannot share this, but I will
probably make you happy
I'm already happy, Colonel
You just tell me how many soldiers
do you require for guards, six, eight?
Four
Three for the trucks and 1 to watch the prisoner
What, you'll take him also?
I must hand him over to military court
Yes!
True! That's his place!
Quickly!
Quickly now!
What's your name? -Here you are,
Colonel, soldier Mirche Tachevski.
Well Macedonian, get in the truck!
-Sir!
You? -Welcome, Colonel, soldier Nushe Sevdali
You also, get in the truck! -Roger.
Major, I've fixed her. The commandment is online.
Fix it faster! -Roger.
What are you doing?
Look, his father! -Give me the picture.
Leave the picture, leave it!
Leave it, you fucker...
Get away
It's working!
I didn't know what else to come up with
The commandment is looking for you, hurry.
Here they are.
They won't get anything out of there!
If there is no one, I won't let them!
You can cross only over my dead body
Let's see you try
Grandma!
Grandma!
Don't do anything stupid, it's over.
Come on, stand up!
I'm informing you, that Colonel
Kostadinovich, is on his way
He took everything with him
All of our materials, on your orders, out
Major, some old hag is laying down on the road
Quickly to the gate, be ready to cooparate.
-As you say, Major!
Grandma, please, we need to let them pass!
That's how it is. -I won't and I don't want to
I do not accept any agreement
They won't with what they are
carrying, to destroy my Croatia
As if you've done anything to fix it, come on!
Major, let me!
Go on, don't daddle!
Mother!
Get up! -I don't want to!
Only dead can you remove me
I don't understand, I took orders from you, out
"We haven't send you any orders
Colonel Kostadinovich is unknown
Urgently give us..." -Maybe its that
Who let you come? Go away!
Did you hand me that house and field?
Yes, you know I was in the municipality
Drive!
Are you crazy!
Drive!
What, there's a person here!
Here is Kostadinovich, his photo!
"...Kostadinovich does not exist.
Urgently check the documents of Colonel Kostadinovich"
Emergency!
Emergency!
On positions!
Emergency!
What did you get scared from?
On position! What are you doing? What!
Why are you walking like that?
On positions, quick!
Load your guns!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
"...why did they hang my Croatia,
like a thief...
And her name they erased,
by the will of someone
in the name of..."
-VVV-
-VVV-
to go out of the Yugoslav Federation, and the establishment of an independent Croatia
and independent republic
On the territory of Croatia, there were still military barracks of the Yugoslav People's Army
which recognize only the laws of the Yugoslav Federation,
and ignored the request of the citizens to leave the country
and to release the Croatian youth serving in these military barracks
"...based on police source, the reason
not to trigger bus is unknown?
"But more likely inability to operate and"
"And in other areas tensions did not ease during the night"
"From time to time there was opened fire from light weaponry
but there were no reports of deaths and material damage"
"According to police, it comes to provocative shots"
"And yet the movement in volatile regions is your own responsibility"
"The decision to block the YPA barracks, is applied in many Croatian towns"
"Our reporters reported that the entrances of the military sites are blocked by citizens
who peacefully demonstrate..."
"And today, several barracks, dozens of beardless youths
fled to freedom. They testified that many of their comrades
are unwilling to fight against their fellow citizens."
"Many of them say that they understand the situation"
"The newly established crisis staffs offer them shelter,
clothes, and organize their journey to their homes"
Excuse me, I beg of you, do you know where is the army "folk hero"?
Forgive me! Do you know where is the army "folk hero"?
No!
There is no "folk hero"!
Run away!
Hooligans!-Excuse me.
Every day, they brake down one-Can you lend me a hand?
What do you want?
I am looking for the army "folk hero" - Are you a soldier?
What soldier?
I am an art specialist I must quickly find this army. -Wonderful!
You would not believe me, you know? I paint a little bit
I just jot down some associations canvas
But there are no specialists here.Look, if you have a moment
to glance into the studio to see some of my work.
I'm in a hurry, my son is a soldier here
I'd like to sneak him out of there somehow
Comrade Major, soldier Sven Gaiski
At your orders, I gathered all the transistors in the army
Soldiers wish you a good reception and a pleasant listening
Get out you animal!
Sir!
And where are you going?
Over there.I'm going to the gate.
Are you crazy? You'd best stay here.
Alright, you better not cry later!
You cannot,comrade.You must go.
Can any of your seniors?
I'm telling you they can't.I can't let anyone, now go!
How about the duty officer?
Can't, how do I go from here!
Flee from here, someone might come and shoot you. Move!
Listen, son. I'm the father of your colleague, Sven Gaiski
I'd like to see him. -You can't! Negotiations are ongoing
???? ?? ??????.-?? ???? ?? ??!
Just for a moment. -Are you deaf!
You must not go near here! If the major comes,
We'll be in trouble, you, me. All of us!
Did I not tell you to stay put.
What...what are you gloomy about?
Come on, Roko will fix everything.
Roko? -Roko Papak, Chairman of the Crisis
He and Murko are negotiating inside.
They are pressing that crazy major
Sit down!
I gotta piss, man. I gotta go.
There is no going, not until the major returns!
Gaiski! -Please, comrade Major
Is that how you hold a rifle!
Come on!
Aleksa,listen!
What, Roko, what do you want again?
Are you sending me on a betrayal! -What betrayal?
Who the heck is talking about this, Aleksa!
For you, I am just a comrade Major. -Leave that now,
You must give up the army, possibly until noon
To allow soldiers to catch the ferryboat in 7:00 o'clock
Civilian clothes are here, ferryboat tickets and the bus are also.
And later we'll celebrate all of this... -First!
"Combine the wires to the terminals of the machine"
Second.
"Put the handle in the slot of the inductor"
Third.
"Turn the handle of the inductor
two or three rotations per second"
"For around 10 seconds"
Fourth.
"Leave the key on the bed"
"Fire is performed by turning the key to "ignition"
Listen to me, Roko!
This here is a machine for blowing up
If someone pulled a number against the army here
I'll be buried alive, blown to smithereens
Everything will be gone!
You, us. And half of the town
You attack all you like
Are you crazy Aleksa!
Comrade Major from YPA!
Listen, we've known each other since 10 years
You here are a well known man.
You live here, so do your friends
All of your bodybuilders. Your wife is from here!
Is that so? And because of this I must go to your side?
So that you are my commander! -Leave that, who knows, who commands who
Only 10 days ago you were replacing hoses from dishwashers!
And now you want to lead?
You, the dishwasher, command me-the professional!
Messenger
Connect this!
You really want to lift the whole town.
I've told you my opinion, do what you want.
I really gotta go take a leak. -Nope!
In this army you won't even take a piss!
There they are. Get up!
Soldiers! Do not let YPA turn you into criminals.
We are not against you. We just want freedom.
Croatia does not require foreign armies.
Officers, let the soldiers go outside
and to embrace with their peers
They should have arrived here 3 hours ago
Are they even on their way?
I can't be everywhere.
Well, what are you doing? -Sir, Papak.
Where were you? I was worried for you guys.
From what group are you? -I'm from Blaj Gaiski.
55th-6th
It's fine. What's important is to...
My son is here in the army. I must get him out of here.
So you're not that drummer?
Where are they...the show stopped and this guy isn't a drummer
Did you hear what I said? I need help... -I heard, why are you yelling
Forgive me, I'm losing my nerves. -You think I'm not?
The most important thing is patience. You must wait!
Stick to the program, it plays 24 hours daily and is of quality.
Roko! We're really late.
I'm from "Meteor". And my little guy is from "Door"
And now I present you William Shoda from "Meteor"
And his friend from the group "Door"
What do you think, ain't this a little dynamic!
Nonsense, let's get back to headquarters.
Zdravko, we are going into the crisis, you keep an eye here
What do you mean you don't have?
I see, you don't have the number of the army.
From where could I get it?
Alright, apologies. Goodbye!
CRISIS HEADQUARTERS
What's wrong?
I'm looking for Mr.Papak -He's inside.
Mr Papak!
You're the only one who has the telephone number for the army.
It's very important to call someone
and to explain the whole situation.
My son... -Who should I call, to that crazy Aleksa!
He doesn't want to talk to anybody, except for the commanders.
Don't be like that, you know far too well that I'm in the encirclement
I haven't been home
Alright tell me..
He wouldn't even dare to talk with the commanders
Well yes!
Central...Ioco, is that you?
Listen, you have connections with the army
I am from the crisis headquarters!
Can you stop Aleksa, cut his call
Cut everything.
Hello?
Hello!
Not me, him!
Come on, that way!
Smartass!
Enough with this!
Give the boys a beer.
Dante, come on now, its your turn.
Why does Dante have to speak nonsense for the 5th time.
It's necessary, but you don't understand that
If he leaves the army, and maybe everyone else, is that good
And now fellow citizen Marinko Ivaq, will recite poetry
Good afternoon.
This guy's my brother.
My home.
I have a sibling
and in my heart I hold
and hills and valleys...
wherever I may go
vainly I ask
and cope with my pain
Is something happening there? -As if!
One's moving around, another is doing something else
What are you making, coffee? -Comrade Major, I'm on duty.
You are not needed here, call the corporal, quickly! -On it!
What are you doing here? Leave this! -Sir!
It's still not working, comrade Major.
Pick that pistol and clean it.
to shine like...
To shine! -Yes sir!
Stop playing with that pistol, just clean it!
What are you doing?...Get ouf of here.
Come on, move along!
Come on!
What are you doing?
You want someone to push you?
And the way you're laid down
Give me that!
I've told you a hundred times!
You lay like this,
you carefully stretch your legs
Your left hand under the rifle,
?????? ???? ??? ???????, stock of right shoulder
Forefinger of your right hand on the trigger
You aim and prepare to shoot
Do you understand?
Must I repeat myself.
On position! Quickly!
Shoot!
Shoot!
It jammed!
It jammed!?
You've gone on duty without bullets!
And now you will jam.
Strip everything.
And footcloth!
And personal belongings!
The bold one, is that your father? -Left that?
What...-I told you not to touch!
What...
Be a hero, will you? And on duty you're without bullets!
Acting a hero in front of the firing squad.
Come on, get in quickly now!
Faster!
All belongings inside the drawer! -Yes, sir!
As for that guy, you deal with that!
It's good..
Mr. Papak,
In front of the army something's going on, we must take measures
We'll get to it.
Here it is! -Where'd you find it?
This one's good!
Everything will be fine.
And?
After 1 minute, at exactly 5 o'clock, they will cut of your electricity!
And?
There's nothing else!
See, what did I tell you!
If you let go of your soldiers and...-Is that so?
You want me to give up!-Well.
Well, alright.
Messenger!
Unit!
What did I tell you?
This he did not need!
That's enough, get down here
Come on!
Come on, its your turn now. It was alright.
Everything as we negotiated.
I don't know how to do this, Roko. -There's nothing to be afraid of,
you go there and talk on the microphone, so that he can hear you
can't someone else do it instead?
Who else?
You're his wife and what you will tell him,
will propbably influence him. -True!
Mr. Papak!
Mr. Papak!
Here, I have written a letter to his commander
Inside I have written everything with details on the situation.
Now you must officially send a messenger...
You're getting on my..
you know what!
Don't you see we have work to do.
And so what, you want that Aleksa to make a mess?
No, jeez, what should I tell him?
About what we talked about.
To let the soldiers go,
to return home, to return to his people here
Aleksa!
Aleksa!
Alright, you hear me, and now the other thing
What other thing? -What we negotiated, to get back home.
Aleksa! Come back home.
Is he alright? -Yes, keep going about that why he must return
Aleksa, go back home.
I've prepared you nettle stew
He loves it. -Not that, woman...
Tell him to return home because of you and these people here
Aleksa!
Aleksa!
Return home.
It's me Lucia telling you this.
Do it for these people here.
But also for me too!
Remember everything well, as it was, Aleksa.
When you first arrived here
to serve, I was still going to school
When you saw me for the first time, I knew
that we would be together until death do us part
And my mother, my father and even my brothers,
said that I shouldn't marry an officer
but I did not care about that
and we lived well
You went every day to work
as I was working at home, I cooked
And so you fell in love with my dishes, this town, this country
And how I fell in love with you!
So did the whole town like you.
Aleksa, this is your place
this is your country
Here is your house, in which I await for you.
So please come out!
Let those soldiers go.
Look at these people here
There he is. -They've been here since 3 days!
They are staying here and waiting for you.
And I've been waiting for you for six days.
You must tell them where you were those other 3 days while you were gone
No, you must tell them
I know very well where you've been
You've been with that bitch,
with that bitch
with that musical teacher
That's what you told me last year
You've been on a military assignment, eh?
When you've been with her for 4 days, you think I didn't know
I know well what you've been doing there,
but no more. No!
I stay home and you go around doing things behind my back!
But remember this. Don't show yourself to me
You do not have to come home... -Major,
I found the malfunction. Tomorrow it will be fixed.
Go!
...because if I see you, I will crush your head like a snake, you hear?
As for that emptyheaded woman...
I will break her spine
I will gouge her eyes out, rip her tongue and...
Just let me see her. You listen to me well!
Well...that escalated quickly!
It's your own fault!
You brought her here!
Hey mister!
Can you call someone?
Thanks, I've already inserted a coin. -By the way, you can see the pictures.
What pictures...I don't understand what's going with...
Is that you?
Everything is alright.
they should release him any moment now
Do not panic!
Everything will go smooth.
Changing the guard.
Faster!
Mr.Papak, please!
I also beg you, don't you see we have work to do
There he is.
What should I tell him?
Koshava, koshava...here is Bonaca, Bonaca, over and out!
Bona...Bon...
Kosha..over.
Major, I have made contact
The situation at Bonaca is serious!
they cut us off, they will stop the water too
What should we do, over
Tell him to do something before someone comes
Do not...before someone comes..
someone from....here
Who?
Who to come? -Who, who...!
Come up with something.
Do not do anything...
Who?
Don't do anything..
Colonel...Kostadinovich
...with the orders
Fine!
We'll have to wait for colonel Kostadinovich
And you fix this, you can see it doesn't work! Fast, come on!
Run!
Are we having a stroll? Come on, move it!
Come on boys.
Now let it go
There, now we can see it better
Mr. Munita!
I will try to go to the gate,
and ask a solider to give the letter to my son
A letter! That his father has gone crazy. Enough nonsense
Why, did you not see how that guy took the rifle.
Didn't you see how that guy looked like?
There's Roko. If he lets you in, I don't care
Mr. Papak
I would like to ask...-Well, friend, patience
Here, join us
Your students from the bodybuilder club are calling for you.
Together we exercised and trained on the equipment
Do you see how it is today
you're holding us on target. What are you fighting for, Aleksa!
Yugoslavia is no more! It is now Croatia.
Separate and independent. Go outside.
Even though you're an officer from YPA,
you were a member. Remember, Croatia is your home!
Well?
Nothing.
He didn't even come out of the office -What did I tell you?
Now its vocal-instrumental club "Door"'s turn.
??? ????????? ???? ????? ???? ?? ????? "??????"
Aleksa, get out of there!
This is what "Door" recommends you
We will always sing for you your favorite song
And now we shall play it,
you will remember those days, so that never again will you think of killing
Boys, we're starting! One and a two..
I feel like something is going away.
Your brain is going away..
Get up! There he is.
What?
What's he doing?
There he is!
Now that worked.
Crying!
Goddamn it...
So little was left for him to surrender.
What did I tell you!
Everyone abandoned me!
My wife betrayed me,
my friends left me,
The music is killing me
Only you, you did not!
Do not worry
Father will give you as much as you need!
When the time comes
Don't you start
We'll beat your father with only a song. This hurts him the most.
Did you see last night? He missed it so much, to give up the army
Mr.Munita, I can't do this anymore.
You again? You always want something as if you're more important
Can't you be like everyone else and mind your..-Look he's coming out!
With that machine!
He's spinning the handle
Picking up the key.
He's gonna shoot!
Alright.
Let's run away.
Coward!
Look, a boat.
A boat?
Some idiot is going toward the army
What do you mean he's going!
Look...
This we did not need.
Hey, you there!
In this emergency situation,
I am responsible for the whole town.
For everyone here, even for you
And you're dangerous to yourself and those around you
That crazy Major will think we're attacking him by sea
Who knows what he'll do
This is why it's best if you do not show around the army
When your son goes out, we are here to help
You do not need him here
And because of that, tomorrow you will immediately
get aboard on the very first ferryboat and go home
Is that clear?
Go home!
Slowly get back on your way. You won't do no good here.
Good afternoon.
Anyone there?
What do you want?
Excuse me for asking, but can I use the telephone
Oh, its you? Absolutely, feel free
After you end your call, come back to me
I have a wonderful home made rakia, eh?
Listen, here I can't do much
tomorrow I'm coming back home
What do you mean you don't get it, I can't get close.
I am guilty.
Yes, you're the smartest, you always know best
you know when it will start and...
Listen to what I'm saying, I can't...
Hello?
HELLO?
Thank you for the phone. -No problem.
Was it nice?
Thank you once again. I must go. -Wait!
What about the pictures?
There's no art specialist visiting daily.
Please don't feel discouraged, I really don't have the time
And you made this?
????? ?????.
???? ??????
...is accusing me, because I did not let him in Germany
when he was called in the army
I let him go, they were going to accuse him for desertion
and he wouldn't have been able to come back
And as for that picture over there
I need two months
I couldn't figure out how an aeroplane carrier looked like
And that is why who knows what he would have ended up in Germany
This is New York.
I've never been to New York.
But ever since last year there was a lot said about it
And you're with an uniform!
The Croatian one? I haven't finished it yet, but I plan to
You're a major.
When I went to study, I told the old man, that I want to go to academy
He agreed.
And he send me to the army. Told me: "You want academy, you get academy."
Only that its free.
Major from YPA!
I was once a superior of this building
This was once home of YPA
Now this is my studio
How many people passed through here
Here stood that guy from "Silver Wings"
And later that other guy, you know him for sure,
an artist, really good
Wait, wait...Boris
You're a senior officer
you could go in the army and get my son out
Everyone knows me there. I can't do anything.
I wouldn't even be able to get myself out
It's best if you do it yourself
If I had a uniform, I would have
I'll lend you mine
But you'll need balls for this.
If they find out, they will accuse you as a spy
And you know what they do to spies during war!
Listen, Mono! This person is looking for...
Boro, you really have gone crazy
Boris, with this uniform you can't move around town
This is the only I have
This guy has an idea
You again? What have you come up with now
Dear sir, I've already told you, go home
Look! Mr.Boris will lend me his uniform
And from you I want you to give me that war vehicle
so that I can go to the army and talk with a certain someone
But first. The vehicle has been recolored completely
Second. With whom would you rather talk, with that sick one?
Don't you start also
Boro, why didn't you at least tell him?
I told him, but this...if the guy has courage, let him try
Let him try. -You people are crazy,
They'll shoot you the moment they set sights.
And then I'll be the guilty one
Tomorrow on the first ferryboat and as we planned. -Wait!
There's something here. Come with me.
Listen to me!
Fine!
You will get your vehicle and a driver, but...
you will have to do something for us
Remove that uniform.
How will you deal with the language?
No problem, I was a soldier
This is not the only problem, the greeting, the discipline
There's no other way!
Not like that. More serious, you're a major! Like this!
Much better.
Do you accept reports?
I remember that also
Don't forget to greet
What will I talk about there!
You won't talk much
For what? -What have you been
listening to for the past 10 years?
Slogans! The most important is slogans.
Which slogans?
You've been in the party right?
Which slogans are best? -When was this, I have forgotten
You've forgotten!?
You know everything. Here -The situation
in the country is getting worser and worser
That's it. Exactly!
The world is eating itself...I don't know
This is very good.
Listen to this: The enemy inside, backed by the world reaction!
Not bad.
Be careful with this: Crazy ambitions for crazy leaders
This one's good too, but it can't
only be political.Needs some war kind too
Say: Let's get ready for battle,at highest level
Wait, wait, you'll like this:
We need to clean up our bills with all traitors
You wouldn't be wrong
You could even yell at any soldier
Either he isn't shaved, hasn't prepared.
-Doesn't matter, whatever it is
Here are some stars
You need to be a colonel!
Colonel?
At morning everyone is in position
and look at the demonstration
At the beach no one looks
We need just get over to the boat,
And to pass the bay. And no one will be able to do anything
Why are you such a coward! You can at least stroke.
It's better this way.
That's not a gray-olive green color
-Who the hell looks at that, come on!
The model isn't from YPA!
As if you know, come on!
Get over here.
Don't panic. Don't panic.
Aleksa is watching us from above. Don't look there!
Are we clear?
Yes. I am...
Major Kostadinovich
-Not just Major, we said colonel!
Colonel, there's no pistol!
What, what do you mean you have no pistol?
Catch!
No one gave me.
Here you go comrade Major!
-There's colonel Kostadinovich, get prepared.
I'm listening, Major!
Why did you not hand him a pistol?
-I won't give him a pistol!
Why don't you? You're the one with a pistol
Don't give it to him now, don't you see that he's watching
Into the bunker, there I will hand it
-Wait, guys, waait!
We need to be more happy, to avoid suspicion
Happy, happy..come on..
The machine to start, hurry
Here it is! Be careful, its charged!
Button that -Let's go.
Maybe it's best if we give up
Well crap, won't work anymore, friend
Listen.
If you give up now, they will think that we kidnapped you
That we killed you, or god knows what
You know what he is capable of!
Come on people, enough of this. Be happy. Happy!
You coming? -I'm coming..I'm Major...
We said Colonel, COLONEL.
-Alright, alright! Colonel Kostadinovich!
What will he be?
I will be Martin, Slovenian.
Why exactly Slovenian?
-If he speaks Croatian, they'd find out he's ours
For three years I was a bartender in Ljubljana
and I speak better than a Kekec and Moica
(slovene names) brought together
Come on, let's be smart and do this already
It's fine like this
They are in.
What's he doing now?
Nothing.
Wait!
Why are you so stiff, come on get out!
Get off!
Some kind of a soldier is looking into Blaj
-What soldier?
Why is he staring?
How should I know. Maybe he likes to.
Hey, comrade!
Hows it hanging?
Will you smoke "Marlboro"?
Yeah, sure one wouldn't hurt
Hey buddy, got another cigarette?
Sure.
What's happening outside? It's been two months already and no signs
There is nothing to listen to
Here, we're coming from the commandment in Split
but they also don't know what's going on
There's no way they could know
They are talking about something with Martin
What are they talking about?
Here, see for yourself!
Is it true that in Split the women are best looking?
Women?
For them I'm ready to give everything
Comrade Colonel,
??.?????????,2917-13 division is ready for inspection
Personnel there, saluted Major Aleksa Milosavljevic
Welcome, Colonel
Did you have any problems with those outside?
No, no!
I haven't.
Quick!
Put on your helmets!
Fast!
Here you go, Colonel
Attention!
Salute to the left!
Colonel!
Combatant review!
He's getting to know the soldiers.
This is a combatant review
Ain't you a smart one!
Where's your button?
-Here you are, Colonel, soldier Mustafa Isasa
I lost it. I didn't have time to sew it back.
For such things, a soldier should be able to find time.
Yes sir, Colonel!
Why aren't you shaved?
What are you so stiff about?
You better go shave right now, on the double!
Where are your other soldiers?
-Some are on position, some are guarding, Colonel
Get me to the position right now. -Sir,
the speech?
What speech?
To raise the morale!
Fine, fine.
Here.
Fellow soldiers,
the situation in the country is complicated
The enemy never sleeps
And because of that we need
to be awake in order to save
the biggest achievements that our People's Liberation Movement made
And that is...
brotherhood and unity!
I know it's far from your homes
I'm talking to you as a senior,
but not only as a senior, we are also parents
Do you see,
I also have a son your age
He's also a soldier
and I am concerned for him
And because of that kids,
be disciplined
Don't ask pointless questions and...
everything will end up well
That's it!
Colonel,
clever speech
We're going on position.
Attention!
You're free to go!
Should I start?
Yes, you may.
First the song or... -No! First
tell him that, which we talked about
I find it easier to sing, so if you can...
I'm afraid that those people are deaf
Fine, fine.
Aleksa!
Your friend Spomenka is talking to you.
Whom by this moment, thought she knew you
I've been teaching for 10 years singing by now,
harmony, love not violence!
Do you see, it's not our victory that this is about.
The enemy inside, backed by the gloomy global response
acts against our brightest ideals
The crazy ambitions of their leaders,
Are falling down like a tower of cards
...and give up on your criminal intentions.
I have not taught you how to hate
But to love!
This one really teaches love alright.
Everyone knows this.
Do this because of our love
You dumb bitch!
Emptyhead!
Aleksa, leave that nest of evil
go outside... -Well, I won't until I am alive!
You better not move from there, you hear me!
Please, Aleksa, Please!
If you go out because of
this bitch I will leave you
It is very important...
...bullshit!
I curse you, get out!
Don't come out
for anything in the world
See what will happen if you get out!
Murko, what are you waiting for, stop those two!
You brought them, you deal with them!
Is this the front line? -Yes, Colonel
But these aren't the only ones which the army has
Let me show you, Colonel
how we can effectively make defense
Here you are, Colonel.
Listen, Roko.
if I see her again on this set,
you will be dealing with me!
Well Roko, what did I tell you!
You haven't told me anything.
Martin is doing well
He's got a lot of soldiers around him
It looks like he's instructing to them how to escape
I put her on the roof
white, soft,
She was naked, completely naked
Her nipples...
her nipples erected...
And I...
sucked on them, do you understand?
And the roof was slippery
and in order to make it not so slippery
I put one of my legs on one shoulders
the other...
You don't understand!
Come!
Up, up.
You.
Get up here.
So!
Lay down.
One of my legs...
...on one of your shoulders.Like so!
The other...
...on the other shoulder.
Now you get it?
And now you work.
And she was moaning like a pig...
...and the only YPA, that should be the roots of...
Releasing the pressure, Colonel
Attention!
Colonel, should I prepare the car?
What's up with you, we aren't even half ready
Here, Colonel
Where were we?
Oh yeah, how I was fucking Stepanovich
Here, Colonel, this is the machine for blasting
This is the only real ensuring
With just one single movement in this room
within a second everything will be up in the sky
Let's see them attack as much as they like
The wires are tied to the machine terminals
joined and buried with explosives
The handle of the inductor will turn two to three rotations per second
for around 10 seconds
Then he sets the key on the bed
and perform by turning the ignition key to position...
Alright, I got it already...
Excellent!
Why am I even mentioning this, Colonel,
when you know better than me
These explosives, is someone guarding them?
-Of course, Colonel!
On duty are the most capable of soldiers
Have a look for yourself, Colonel
Open up!
Here, Colonel
That's it!
If it weren't for this, you would have heard a shooting
Except for this, I've mined two more
The system for chain explosion is...my idea
What do you think Colonel?
Exceptional, ingenious!
Is this all of the soldiers you have?
Of course, Colonel
All of them?
Except for that one who is in prison.
But I do not rely on him as a soldier.
He was on duty without ammunition
and did not fulfil an order
I still haven't decided if he should be shot or not
Take me to him right now.
Of course, Colonel
Come on, what are you waiting for!
Attention!
What are you...
Mind your words, traitor!
In the most difficult moments
of our army and you turn your back
Don't think you will pass without punishment!
We got you,
solidarity with those outside, and this is treason!
I will personally make sure you receive your punishment
and this is none other than a shooting
I've seen enough, Colonel.
Take me to the office right away.
-As you wish, Colonel!
That's my father!
What are those two doing?
Which two?
What's Martin doing?
He's still talking to them
in Slovenian. -Let him talk.
as long as he doesn't sing!
He's still here.
He's here!
Damned loud noise!
That's that crazy poet,
he's been a nuisance every day
Why did you not shut him up?
-How, when the Major doesn't let us shoot him!
Slow down with the poetry.
As it is with us, so is for him.
I think it's best with that...
...from where was that,
from Vardar..yes..
Come on, we're starting
As loud as possible! Three-Four..
Come see, Martin has gone mad!
There's no stopping now!
What did I tell you!
Come on Dante, why'd you go silent?
Get down here. They'll see now!
Where are "Door"? Door!
Attention!
We're continuing boys, louder..
We've silenced them, nobody will hear them now
But now we won't be able to hear each other...
What'd you say?
Colonel, you can now give me the orders
and after that we'll have lunch and...
And so.
I have nothing handwritten in me
Smart!
Smart, Colonel
So then, you have verbal orders
What is our task?
All of the explosives to be
transported outside of the army
What, all of them?
Yes, all of them!
And to where?
That I cannot say.
I understand, Colonel
So it's military secret.
You can't tell me.
I cannot!
-Understood.
I understood completely, Colonel.
Everything is clear as day.
We're breaking the rulers, aren't we!
I cannot share this, but I will
probably make you happy
I'm already happy, Colonel
You just tell me how many soldiers
do you require for guards, six, eight?
Four
Three for the trucks and 1 to watch the prisoner
What, you'll take him also?
I must hand him over to military court
Yes!
True! That's his place!
Quickly!
Quickly now!
What's your name? -Here you are,
Colonel, soldier Mirche Tachevski.
Well Macedonian, get in the truck!
-Sir!
You? -Welcome, Colonel, soldier Nushe Sevdali
You also, get in the truck! -Roger.
Major, I've fixed her. The commandment is online.
Fix it faster! -Roger.
What are you doing?
Look, his father! -Give me the picture.
Leave the picture, leave it!
Leave it, you fucker...
Get away
It's working!
I didn't know what else to come up with
The commandment is looking for you, hurry.
Here they are.
They won't get anything out of there!
If there is no one, I won't let them!
You can cross only over my dead body
Let's see you try
Grandma!
Grandma!
Don't do anything stupid, it's over.
Come on, stand up!
I'm informing you, that Colonel
Kostadinovich, is on his way
He took everything with him
All of our materials, on your orders, out
Major, some old hag is laying down on the road
Quickly to the gate, be ready to cooparate.
-As you say, Major!
Grandma, please, we need to let them pass!
That's how it is. -I won't and I don't want to
I do not accept any agreement
They won't with what they are
carrying, to destroy my Croatia
As if you've done anything to fix it, come on!
Major, let me!
Go on, don't daddle!
Mother!
Get up! -I don't want to!
Only dead can you remove me
I don't understand, I took orders from you, out
"We haven't send you any orders
Colonel Kostadinovich is unknown
Urgently give us..." -Maybe its that
Who let you come? Go away!
Did you hand me that house and field?
Yes, you know I was in the municipality
Drive!
Are you crazy!
Drive!
What, there's a person here!
Here is Kostadinovich, his photo!
"...Kostadinovich does not exist.
Urgently check the documents of Colonel Kostadinovich"
Emergency!
Emergency!
On positions!
Emergency!
What did you get scared from?
On position! What are you doing? What!
Why are you walking like that?
On positions, quick!
Load your guns!
Fire!
Fire!
Fire!
"...why did they hang my Croatia,
like a thief...
And her name they erased,
by the will of someone
in the name of..."
