As Hollywood movies begin to find their way into the country sixteen year-old Dino becomes seduced by the glamour of the gangster films that flash before his eyes at the local cinema and he decides to follow a life of crime. Falling in with a band of petty crooks Dino's future seems set until a liaison with local prostitute Dolly Bell turns his world upside down in a way not even the movies could have prepared him for. A two-times winner of the Cannes Film Festival's prestigious Palme d'Or Kusturica's energy and unique cinematic eye are very much in evidence in this thoughtful charming and eccentric comedy.

  Celebrated Balkan filmmaker Emir Kusturica won his first Palme d'Or the Cannes Film Festival's highest honour for this exuberant portrait of 1950s Yugoslavia as seen through the eyes of six year-old Malik. As the country resists the pressures of Stalinism many find themselves taken away ""on business"" by the police for making imprudent statements against the government. But Malik's father Manojlovic finds himself imprisoned for an altogether less noble reason when his affair with the mistress of a high-ranking party official is discovered. Naively believing his Papa to be away on business Malik must face up to life's sometimes poignant often comic tribulations without him.
