UNDERGROUND
SYNOPSIS
The story starts from an underground manufacture of weapons of Belgrade, during the world war 2, and evolves into fairly surreal situations. The black marketer who smuggles the weapons to partisans forgets to mention to the workers that the war is over, and they keep producing. 50 years later, they become suspicious, and break out of their underground "shelter" --- only to convince themselves that the guy was right: the war is still going on.
