“…an affectionate social satire, with appealingly gratuitous touches of the lyrical and surreal.”—Chicago Reader
It's an open secret that father has been sent away to the mines for fooling around with the voluptuous object of desire of a communist party official. That's the way things were in 1950's Yugoslavia. Six-year-old Malik, however, thinks Papa is away on business. As seen through his eyes, this film magnifies the emotions of his new experiences, punctuated by trips to visit his Papa. A bizarre, funny, and ultimately warm comedy from Emir Kusturica, this film was the dark horse winner of the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
