- A Serbian named Bata works in his father-in-law's company "Drnda International", an undertaker's business. Mr. Drnda started the company when he returned home from working as a laborer in Germany and Austria. It's now an international business with 26 hearses, which bring Serbians who died abroad back home, or tourists whose vacations in Serbia ended badly. At this point, the owner has limited his own activities to thinking up ads and determining the long-term corporate strategy. Bata drives back and forth between Eastern and Western Europe transporting corpses trying hard to look calm and collected. But an ever-gray sky, hits of yesteryear on the radio and heated exchanges with customs officers take their toll on him. After all, undertakers have to blow off some steam, too. This isn't a morbid tale of death (we don't even get a glimpse of a dead body), but rather an intimate portrait of an undertaker.
- A fishing roulette about the Rat brothers, cats, dogs, and caviar.
- NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999. James, a young journalist on his first deployment abroad, is faced with the absurd reality of news production and is forced to choose between his career and his moral code.
- The village of Petrovo Selo is located in the Serbian nature reserve Djerdap. This is the native village of director Dragan Nikolic's mother, and these days, it is practically deserted. Only a few weed-infested ruins recall the liveliness of years gone by. But this place does not only contain the remains of the former village. Hidden under the lush vegetation of Petrovo Selo lie the traces of a mass grave full of Albanians. For the filmmaker, this sinister, secret place more than 300 kilometres from the border with Kosovo symbolises a society that wants to conceal its violent past and make it disappear forever. He travels back to Petrovo Selo with his mother, trying to uncover the story behind the mass grave. With the beautiful landscape as a backdrop, Nikolic's mother reminisces about her youth and her native village. As a result, the dark history of a recent war is offset by the cheerful childhood memories of a passionate woman.
