Stara Skola Kapitalizma plot
Filmmaker Želimir Žilnik fillets the beatific capitalism, which has been sold to the Serbs as the great new salvation after the disappearance of state socialism. He uses a number of strikes that took place in Belgrade in recent years as a background for his story, in which Žilnik places real people involved who are allowed to 'play' themselves. That leads to explosive situations. Workers dressed in American football uniforms come to talk to employers with thugs in bulletproof vests. But the factories have already been emptied. The arrival of a Russian tycoon and US Vice President Joe Biden puts things on edge. Žilnik's docu-drama analyzes with X-ray eyes and sharply what is going on with the new Serbia. Not a lazy, ideological analysis, but a complex and at the same time light-hearted portrait of the consequences of globalized capitalism for a country that has only just entered that game.
