"When Father Was Away on Business" ("Otac na sluzbenom putu")
starring Moreno de Bartolli, Predrag Manojlovic-Miki
In the early 1950s in Yugoslavia, the euphemism for being sent to jail was to be 'away on business'. Six-years-old, Mesa accepts his father's absence philosophically: he's much more concerned with the football matches on the radio, making his first observations about the opposite sex and his forthcoming circumcision.
Emir Kusturica's charming, perceptive view of everyday life at a time of political repression won the Golden Palm at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.
(A Yugoslav film with English subtitles. First showing on British television)
