Commentary:
After the failure of his earlier film Da li je umro dobar čovjek?, Fadil Hadžić engaged in another pretentious experiment and made this film. Like its predecessor, this film with almost no dialogue owes a lot to the “global messages” of the Zagreb animated film school. In this film, apart from relying heavily on Jacques Tati, Hadžić found major inspiration in the poetics of the theatre of the absurd, primarily in Beckett’s work. This prompted historian of Croatian cinema, Ivo Škrabalo, to describe the film as the Balkan version of Waiting for Godot. However, he pointed out, the persiflage did not succeed. The majority of critics agree with Škrabalo’s assessment.
