 Rating: - So far so goodI have not had time to view the DVD. Will do very soon and let you know if the quality is good. Thank you for your prompt attention Rating:  - Naïve Vision of Teen Nostalgia in Adequate Coming of Age Film...Men yearning for the olden days awaken in this former Yugoslavian film that brings the audience back to 1950s Belgrade where a group of teens live for the moment.

They meet at her funeral in Belgrade. However, we then learn that her surviving daughter was fathered by one of the four. The question is, who was it? The movie then takes us back to a coastal town of Yugoslavia in July 1953, when all four were teenagers on a rowing quartet and the girl, the beautiful blonde Miriana, hung around them as just a ...

Charmingly acted and supremely well-constructed, though I "got it" better on second viewing. Normally sentimentality in films is not my thing at all, but as someone with a profound interest in the former Yugoslavia who likes to see a good movie as well, I have been enjoying this film for years.
