- A profound insight into history of Yugoslav cinema through censorship perspective. How did famous anti-communist movies from Yugoslav time succeeded in being made and what consequences did they had to bear? Film contains original interviews with most important dissident filmmakers from communist time, including Dusan Makavejev, Zelimir Zilnik and Lazar Stojanovic.
- Zelimir Zilnik has always been discussing the communist's regime taboos , with his early documentaries , but especially with his film about the student's riots in 1968- Lipanjska gibanja /June's movements/. His featured film Rani radovi /The early works/ got to trial, because it made important politicians, including Tito himself, very angry. However, it was free of all charges, thanks to the really honorable judge. The Golden bear, the best award of the Berlin Film Festival, was given to Zelimir and it was interpreted as the biggest provocation for SFRJ. Therefore, the film was put away for years and was not available for the audience.
