Comedy

Slobodan Sijan

Short description:
The death of Cuban guerilla fighter Che Gevara heavily shocked and posessed homeless Babi Papuska, a man from social and cultural margine, but still an ardent, ortodox idealist who believes in progress and creation of better world. So Babi becomes Che's double and follower, not with a gun in his hand, but as a supporter of favorite legend of those times. His destiny interlaces events which precede the tempestous 1968. and the students protests in Belgrade, which for Babi will represent "one revolution". This is a story of a man who has never had a complete revolution.
