The central character is unhappy, but seemingly cool. Attractive and young, he sings in a rock band in the late 60s in Belgrade.
This laid the foundation for the masterwork that is "Young and Healthy as a Rose", which I am awaiting for MUBI to add as one of my submissions. Sad though, that Jovanovic's first feature was silenced, and that he hasn't risen to the surface as a major voice of his generation. Hopefully though, internet buzz will lead to more general attention, and we can get a retrospective/restoration of his works soon.
