Although the beginning seems to lead to a comedy, this movie is far from it. It is a tragedy of a life that is a lie, of a man forced to live with people he hates.
Svetislav is a dreamer not fit for this world. Nothing in his life is as he wants it. The only comfort he finds in his daughter, but it hurts even more to know that he is not able to provide for her the means to lead a normal life.
The movie is even better because of the fact that Svetislav is not depicted as a perfectly nice guy. He drinks before he goes to teach, he is late for class, and he never pays for his drink. So he is made of flesh and blood, and he could be anyone you know.
Finally, the acting of the leading trio (Ristovski, Brajović, Nikolić) is superb. To cut it short: see this if you can.
