Zilnik's 102 minutes long TV series is about a couple of guys, one good and naive, the other liar and manipulator, trying to make a living the best they can...Along the way they meet a guy who eats glass, metal and plates, then a couple of strippers, and a lot of ordinary people. Zilnik's dry realistic approach is filled with humour and documentary parts with some real peasants and working-class people.

The film portraits a writer-amateur Bora Joksimović, a heating maintenance mechanic in the Zrenjanin theatre. Unhappy with the shows he sees in his theatre, he decides to try his luck as a playwright. And as a result he has written 53 plays with "mighty plots", like "Hitler and Stalin Conversations in Hell", "Life of a Croat Woman in Belgrade", "Fratricide" etc.
