A crazy, high-speed movie about double-dealing crooks and thieves living along the Danube River in Serbia. Such a description probably makes this movie sound dark and menacing, trust me it is anything but. It is filled to the brim with delightful music, slapstick humor, bizarre contraptions, shotgun weddings — with a sweet romantic caper at its center. If winter weather is getting you down, consider watching this film as a fun & sunny antidote.
"A colorful, frenetic mixture of slapstick and folklore that stands a good chance of delighting arthouse audiences the world over."
— David Stratton
