By all means one of the most heartwarming movies. An excellent illustration of Serbians' warmth, kindness, and love hidden behind their typical "stand tall" and pretend to be unreachable. I liked every moment of the movie. The way the plot was maneuvering through details of the everyday life of the characters. The costumes were great as were the plates, kitchen equipment, and the habits of their users. I spent some part of my youth in Serbia and the movie just took me back to the old times when stuffed zucchini was something eaten all the time, when every neighbor helped to raise the kids, and when old ladies kept kissing you if they noticed, you were in a bad mood.

Fabulous and unforgettable movie.
