Int.

This fast paced family farce takes place in the home of Ruza and Milan and their son Neven, a teenager obsessed with Elvis Presley. The entire family is due for a celebration when the oven catches fire, dinner is ruined and Aunt Julka and Uncle Kosta's car crashes through the front gates. Kosta is drunk, as usual. Everyone yells while Neven blasts Elvis on his walkman to drown out the voices. In the midst of this chaos, Grandpa Vasilje saunters in with his new bride and their best man, a doctor from the sanitorium. Grandpa announces that he has just married Rajna, but no immediate family members were invited. Guns go off! This hilariously outrageous comedy about conflicts between generations and tragic family misunderstandings is an masterful combination of tragedy and comedy by the author of The Professional.
