Vinko Brešan’s new film is a black comedy, a love story about Martin, Croatian war veteran and Desa, Serbian porn actress and prostitute. Martin’s life changes when he sees Desa in a Serbian porn film “Red Pussy” and decides to find her. He goes to Belgrade and finds her pimp who offers him to buy Desa. He takes her home, to Zagreb. A strange kind of love starts to grow between them full of misunderstandings but also impossible because of the secrets they both hide from the war. It seems Martin, when he was a sharpshooter in the war, was supposed to kill Desa’s husband, a chetnik leader.

Žarko Potočnjak, Leon Lučev, Matija Prskalo, Mila Elegović, Linda Begonja, Ana Begić are just a part of the talented cast Brešan assembled.
