Go!

What is this? They don't move. -They don't understand.

They'll understand this.

Buha, come on. What are you looking at?

They're running. -Let him watch.

Who knows when he will see their backs again.

During the war, many boys and girls joined the NOV,

Under 16 years of age. This is the story of one such group.

They found him!

Break my neck! You hit my tobacco.

They found Nikola, In the hospital, in the attic.

How is he? -Typhus.

They will return him. His brother Jovica will stay.

He turned 16. In years, he's a real cow.

Where? -At headquarters.

Some advocate the return, others don't.

This should be decided by the family, but at headquarters.

I'm not talking about Nikola.

They want to return everyone who isn't 16. -What?

Someone has to stay, to protect the house.

Why isn't Jovica going? He'd be better protected.

He's been with us since the first day. You escaped.

Tell! -You ran away from home. - Tell me.

Jovica, escort them.

You can't even guard without a bike!

What's wrong with him?

We brought food. -We brought this boy.

The commander is looking.

Stay here.

What's your name? -Mica. Milan Savic.

What are you carrying in the bag? -Things. Even books.

Books?

Did you come here to study? -No.

Kadish? -No. -Wait here, Commander.

Lune! -What is it?

Mica's here.-What Mica? -Mica ... -Savic.

You don't know me? -No.

When you went to 8B, I was in 4A.

Your classmate was latinist Petrovi�. - I know.

What are you looking for here? -I came to fight.

As if it were a school enrollment, not for war.

What the hell are you doing here right now?

Go back to the city and continue schooling.

It's not good there. -Why? -Killing.

My father constantly travels, That's why he knows.

Did father give you a gun? -Yes. He said:

If it's bad, You know where to hide it.

So it's bad?

All right, Mica. It's not time to check you out.

Milun, let's report to Pu�kar. We'll see you later.

I would send them all back. - After a quick procedure.

Where do I send them? Tell me where.

We do not have any of these problems. A lot of children are partisans.

What are we supposed to do? Should we leave them and escape?

We've already agreed on this.

Why is everyone in my cell? You can arrange them elsewhere.

I want everyone to be gathered. To answer them.

Buha and Borko are here. They're asking for an interview.

They've learned, overwhelmingly. -Let them come in.

What is it? -They sent us, we're ambassadors.

We're here to negotiate.

Is it true that you're sending us home? -Yes, it is.

We only return weakly. -It's out of the question!

We came alone! - I know.

If they want to know, We're not going to bring you back.

It's not about us!

You accept your classmates, You're scaring the others.

How are you talking to the commander, a smoker?

Envoy?! In five minutes Get in line!

Understood? -Understood!

Comrades! We're leaving Serbia. It's going to be tough. Worse than so far.

If someone thinks he's not going to make it, he can get his weapons back and go.

We won't mind. We'll say goodbye as comrades.

Me, Comrade Commander. I'm not a coward, but...

A little harder to climb or I stay out of breath. ...

She loves you. - Do not apologize, We all know.

Even Jovan can't, because of the leg. Two of you must support him. -I didn't say anything! -Go.

Guys, that goes for you too. You better report yourself.

Come on! When we cross the river, there will be no return.

Je�ek, come here. Perica!

Milan and Sa�a Milo�evic.

Kokan.

Lale.

Come on.

What does your father do? - He's an engineer.

You're well-equipped.

You step out too, Sava.

Battalion, dismiss!

Pick up your weapons and equipment and take it all into the chamber.

Here are the girls. -Take them, Rada.

�or�e, give Peica a rifle back. He's staying.

His was taken back to camp. He has nowhere to go.

I don't have anywhere either. -It's easy for you. You're going to be fine.

Who will sing to you, If you send me home?

Lale, you're going to go to your uncle's.

Take the five-points and all the markings.

You even have a night to prepare yourself.

Hey, guys.

Watch us.

Wait for us, we'll be back.

Sava ...

All right, we'll see you in the morning.

Why did you expose him? - Do you know what, Lune?

If you gave them to me, it's better

for me to raise them than him. -We both can't.

Remember when the shoes that old man had on the track disappeared?

I know. -He didn't take them?

I was playing dumb at the time. He had a broken shoe.

So we're bringing him back to the street?

Are they new? -Yes.

Sit.

Did you get dinner? -I did. - Why don't you mix the portion?

Where is the water? - With snow.

You're snowballing again?

Look at your hands!

You're not much cleaner. Shame on you!

You'll bring typhus to the battalion.

Listen, Buha...

Do something like that again, I'm going to knock your head off.

Would a comrade fight? -You think I'm scared?

Shall we? -Why not!

I'm Milan. -Primi.

"Railway", "doxa", Oh God

Is that so?

I know that too.

Did you learn that at school?

Let go!

I'll show him! -Come here.

He's the best wrestler among the children.

You hit your fists? Better to hit a hornet's nest.

Something's wrong.

The chimneys don't smoke, Dogs don't bark. -Yes, it is.

Who's there?

This is where they went.

Look.

They're freezing.

It's Nikola!

He's running. -Maybe not. Rub him. Get him up.

With snow. -Wait, I have gloves.

What about Grandpa? -We'll get him later.

We'll hug him. Blow! Hard!

Nikola.

Lale, Kokan! Where are you?

We're here. -What is it? -They killed Nikola and Grandpa.

We thought they were frozen. -His mom isn't.

She ran away. I saw the tracks.

Where did they come from? -Their village is behind the hill.

Go ahead, I'll cover them with snow.

Go.

Milan, Can you handle this? - I will.

Are you cold?

Take the scarf. -No, you don't. -You don't have to!

One didn't want it, and his ears froze and fell off.

If I brought him here, I'll do it too much, and I'll sink.

Why don't you put him on a horse? -The water will take him.

It would be better if you brought it a boat instead of a bicycle.

Be quiet, mind your own business. You're always pissing me off.

Cover him.

How was it? -The beginning is alright, then water to the neck.

Don't stand next to the fire

Take his rifle off. -Let's take him to the fire.

No, rub him with the snow!

On your feet. Dance! -How am I supposed to dance without music?

Jump, dance. Skip, hop, hop!

Get up, dance!

Like that! Good!

Do we have losses? - I don't know about the others.

Some of our men took the water. They were gone.

Retreat! Run!

When we headed out, She wasn't there.

They stole it when I was asleep. -You're a student. That's a tough accusation.

You know how to punish someone stealing guns?

Why didn't you check in immediately? -I wanted to, but...

Buha and Borko told me, let me pray. - What did they say?

The one who loses the gun, you shoot.

Buha and Borko? -Right. -Go on, get warm.

He must have done something wrong.

I'm going to beat him. -Don't worry. Mica doesn't know we're involved.

He can't know.

Here they are.

Borko, report to the commissar.

We're walking.

Leave the blanket.

Do you know that Mica lost his rifle?

Maybe he didn't lose it, Someone could have stolen it.

Or it fell into the water, when we crossed the river. -No.

I thought you knew more. -That gun is for hunting.

We're not going to be Germans with machine guns. -You're right.

There's not enough bullets, either.

In my building, the children have a hunting rifle.

You know how we punish whoever loses a gun?

How do I know? I'm not a commander. -Mica, do you?

You said shoot whoever loses the gun.

We shoot those, who steal. Isn't that right?

You wouldn't shoot for a hunting rifle, would you?

We do not, you and Boka are alright. -Lune, I'll get it.

I'm going to get a real gun.

Wait until Sirogojno. It'll be easier with three.

Remember, Buha. The river was crossed

but you will not carry me thirsty over the water.

It hurts! Veterinarian! Doctor!

Go.

Who is it?

Hello.

Come in, it's cold.

Writing a deposition?

No, something private, For my soul.

I was on the lookout. I'm not sleepy any more.

There's a light on... They say you never sleep.

You writing to your mom?

Not just Mom. Do you know what a diary is?

Borko wrote a love diary before he came here.

I write Sketches. You know what that is? -I know.

I'm recording events that seem interesting.

I'm writing about you, too.

After the war, they will become The Diary of our battalion.

To know? - That's right. To know

And now that I will know, why did you come at this hour?

Well, Comrade commander... -Not officially, please.

I thought you came to Chat, not as a envoy.

No, Lune. I wanted to explain.

What? - When I said that to Mico ...Mica ...

The liaison thing. I was furious. Now I'm sorry.

Well, we cleared this up, when we crossed the river.

Take it.

Lune? -What is it?

I prefer you. -Me?

I do not believe you anymore. -A common word!

Just write it in the diary. You and Sirogojno.

That's why I lied to you about the gun.

We're setting off again.

Now watch out!

But what about you? - Your colleague taught me.

It's over for you! -We will see.

Why do we have to attack this bunker right here? -We need to.

Let Pu�kar hear who we are. Stay here, don't move.

Lezita!

Kokan, can you see the machine gun barrel? I don't see it.

Me neither. -Yeah, Me neither.

They caught the ones who made the alarm.

They have to be shot. They almost got themselves killed for them.

They say that they're our proletarians. - Our people are not proletarians yet.

Why are you knocking, come in!

Who is Lune? -He's not here.

We brought your bombers to attack the occupied bunkers.

They're not ours. -They're yours! -We'll See.

Jovo, get them!

Are these yours? -They're ours.

Ukazano nam je, da jih predamo tukaj.

Do you understand? You go ahead.

Because of you, we've wasted a lot of ammo. Hello.

Are you back? -We had to.

Bring Buho, Borka and Mica.

How did you cross the river? -Easy, across the bridge. And you?

Why didn't you execute the order? -We made it.

There's no one in Kokanovi village. Lale, Tell him.

Uncle ran away from the Germans. -And you?

I brought them. Whoever crossed the river can't go back.

You remember well what is in your favor.

We're all gathered now.

Sirogojno, where is Mica's rifle?

Comrade Commander, We swapped it for a cow..

A cow?

Who gave you the grenades You threw in the bunker? -I did.

Who gave them to you? -They're mine. I brought them from Macve.

You think the bombs are Your private property?

What about you, Skipper? Did you know about this? -I knew it.

You're no longer skipper. -Just like that, no meeting?

I'm meeting for liars!

Disarm them.

In the room, everybody!

Take them away.

Wait. Let me go.

I've been meaning to tell you something.

We found Nikola and his grandfather slaughtered.

With a bayonet or a knife. We found the mom, too.

She was lying in the snow, with a torn dress, almost naked.

Don't tell anybody. Now go.

Make sure he doesn't find out, Jovica.

Who's that for? -I don't know.

Grounded expedition, forward! We're bringing you weapons.

Where did you go? -Shoot!

Not like that, Perica! Shoot!

Run!

Lie down!

Be careful!

Break!

Companions to class. Quickly!

Pu�kar, it's Edin, the new School presenter.

He was a landlord in town. He's going to teach you.

Call your own! -They haven't finished yet. -Gather everything.

They stay!

Go, I'll be right back.

What about their political education? -They need to know how to survive.

You know what, Bato? We are too old to go to war.

They're something else. They didn't have to come.

Everything is true, except that, We're old.

You two, to Class!

Bring them when you're done with this gymnastics.

Comrade Commander! When are we going to practice bombs?

Bombs? You're right about the bombs!

You don't even know how to shoot.

Do you know what grenades are? -I know. Partisan artillery.

That's right. Line up! Quickly.

You two, change spots.

Quiet! To the right! Run, go ahead, march!

I'm here, Comrade Commissar.

Cikalo, go to headquarters. We'll be right there.

It's better when we make a deal.

All the kids are talking. -We attack the city tonight.

Do you have anybody there? -Pretty verified communists.

They will attack the warehouse. - Do you have relatives?

They withdrew. -You're not going to attack tonight.

You're going to the patrol. -How? What about the city?

Leave the place. You're going to lead my stallions.

Take a look around the village. -I was looking forward to it.

If we free the city, Come in there.

They will be affected if they notice that we are retreating.

Take someone else older, so they don't suspect.

Stop! Borko, stop!

Hide him!

Who is this lunatic? -Borko.

Get him! Bolnicarka, Quick!

Where'd you come from?

Why did you leave? You're going to answer, you deserters!

A deserter is the one who escapes from the fight.

You're fighting! Where's your gun?

Where are the others? -They're spead around the city.

Around town? Nice!

Brkac, Slovenec, cover us! The others, the bombs. Follow me!

Where did you guys go? -You said, follow me!

Stay with the wall. Give me the bomb.

Let me get it. Buha, hold on.

First.

Where are you going? Bo�ko, stop.

Let's go, boys!

Buha!

Bo�ko!

Here I am.-There you are! Who would have thought?

How did you hit him right away? Come on, let me kiss you.

You've seized a machine gun.

Are you all right? -I am. -You're going to answer for this!

Take it.

It's yours.

I didn't find the gun.

Buha, wait.

Take it. I'm not spending anything.

Where did you shoot a gun? - I confiscated it.

Take it, Slovenec. -I didn't give it! -It's not your inheritance.

Take the rifle. Let's go, boys.

Tik tak.

I wanted to say something about my boys.

This is no longer the case.

When we sent them to the patrol, We had the best intentions.

We do not know where it's worse: on the battlefield or in the hinterland.

If I don't have them constantly in front of my eyes,

I won't be able to protect them.

You're saying we should take them with us?

You and the others should be in the attack. They came alone, like colts.

They scattered everywhere. Borko was also wounded.

We can't ask children to die like us.

We're making a mistake. There are no children in war.

This war does not recognize them. - You got it, Pu�kar.

But they're still children. -It's you, me, him.

The Germans don't. Tell them to be:

That's Pu�kar, kill him.

That's Viktor, Shoot him, too.

And there's Kokan, Leave him.

Don't kill Lale, either. They're kids.

Only kill adults.

When you pull the barrels away from boys, they should not notice.

It would hurt them.

I got them! It's a decoration. -Now we have the right to wear them.

Where did you find them? -Watch out, it's Pu�kar.

What is it? -Somebody's shooting.

Don't go out there! Follow me!

Looks like they shot a cow that got away.

They broke my dream.

Why don't you let them know you're dreaming?

What was your dream?

That the war had ended and that I'm going home to Gradino.

A crowd has been gathered, Children, small and big students.

I'm right in front of the school. I'm riding on a white horse.

All right!

In front of all my teachers. -and you make an F riding.

No! He greets me. Everyone applauds.

The horse digs. -Ok.

I look at the school, in the park stands a monument.

Here.

My head. -That's not going To work. Why? -You can't be alive.

They only put up monuments for the dead.

Okay, then no monument.

The Germans are coming, let's go.

Sirogojno, come to the fire. -There's no need. - Come on! Sit down.

The shoe's broken.

Milun! -Are we going? No.

You aren't Chikalo, but a scarecrow.

Milun, the wheel's been bridged.

It's going to be rusty.

Are you asleep?

Is it going? -It's going.

They didn't eat anything.

We can't. It tastes tasteless. -I Know.

Take it.

Hide them so they can't see. For you and yours. Salt.

There's no life without salt. Salt is life, remember.

Hide it so they don't see the one in the chamber.

At night, too. More porridge. We're going to die.

Why do you always tarnish?

Take the belt, drill the hole, tighten it and no problem.

When you get salt, you can eat. -It's okay, but it's enough.

Look at Milun. He's getting cold as Chikalo's porridge.

Call him. It's a sin. Let's give him a little life.

Milun, come here. We got something for you.

See what time it is.

Will I be late for the wedding? -Wait. Look.

It's salt. - Take it and keep quiet.

You really are a master.

Where's your mechanism? -I dismantled it.

I kept every screw. After the war, the watchmaker will fix it.

Here you go, Comrade Commissar! -What did you do with the book?

I read it. Mica gave it to me. -You're lying! It was in my bag.

You said we had to educate each other. So I read.

Why are 18 pages missing? -They really disappeared!

I read them. - He smokes Mr. "Germinal".(a novel by Zola)

Yes, from Emil Zola. -He uses the book to smoke.

I made a mistake. The paper seduced me.

It's good for rolling. -Well, keep it. Roll to the end.

In the first place we liberate, find the book.

Germinal? -Germinal.

Must it be from the same Zola?

Let me do it.

What are you doing? Have you never seen a Partisan? -We are.

Are you a courier? -How did you know? -The little partisans are couriers.

I'm not little. I seized a machine gun. I'm an old fighter.

I'm speechless.

Let it go!

A column! Germans!

Germans! A column! - I know, Hitler leads them.

You're pulling me! -Really, a column.

Lune, a column! Germans!

Take cover!

What is it? -Jovica's down.

What are you doing there?

Run! What are you looking at?

Have they all withdrawn? -Yeah.

Give this to Sirogojno. Bury Jovica.

Chikalo says we attack the city tonight.

How are we going to find him in this fog?

We're going to take Berlin, just to sleep in a warm place.

I slept best in Cajnic. The bed was wide, soft.

It was just Lale, me and some Slovenian.

I slept best when we occupied Maglaj.

Next. Mrkonjic Grad. -Han Pijesak. Vlasenica.

Had�ino Guvno. -What kind of place is that? Ten houses!

Ten houses, and six bunkers.

Livno. -We haven't occupied that yet. -We will. Next.

Po�ega. -Travnik. -Banja Luka.

Okay, you did not say Belgrade. -Bukova raven. - Focha.

The Adriatic Sea. -Sergeant, how do we occupy the sea?

It's there.

Comrade, what brigade are you from? -The other one.

From another bomba�ke? -Yes, proletarian. And you?

Lican. -Live and be healthy.

What's the hospital that takes loafers? -Healthy.

From comrades. A little prosciutto. In candies.

They confiscated them as if they knew I was coming here.

Did you hear that? Lican Called us a Bomba�ka Brigade.

What's that?

Are you hurt in your shoulder or your tongue? Pray like a grave.

Just a bit, and you'll be back.

The doctor says, that the Serb has a heart like a bull.

Why didn't you retreat? Didn't you hear Pu�kar?

I heard him.

A skojevec should not be withdrawn from the fight.

You always told us that. -That's not why you stayed?

I did. Then I remembered That I'm no longer a skojevec.

He was afraid of me.

It was already too late then.

Comrade Commissar, I'm not going to be a skojevec anymore?

What's with you? Why not? -Because of fear.

Do you think I'm not afraid? I'm even a member of the Party.

We found a pipe up there. Straight to the wire. -Where?

From the abandoned mine. It's a drainage pipe.

Why didn't you send a man? Do you want us all to go?

It's too narrow to crawl in. -Then what do you want?

I thought we could try the kids. -Should we send them?

The patients go.

It's Milena.

Sava! Bo�ko!

Go with �or�e.

Watch out! Don't get kicked!

We don't need a brave one for this,

but smart and cautious. I'm going to beat you up.

What if it collapses? - Come on.

Go with a machine gun for the building. - One is already there. - Go!

Only fire if detected. Clear?

Take the bombs. Shove them in front of you.

Slowly.

You going to do it, Bo�ko? -I will.

My boots, if I don't come back... -Quiet, bite your tongue!

There they are.

Dad called us by first name.

Look, it won't be the last time.

Now!

Sava, look.

Climb.

I saw them last at the tombs.

When they shot at them.

We must attack. - There are no other solutions.

Prepare to attack!

What are they doing up there?

Do you have a commander to carry a sheep, punk?!

We joined the first and the fifth Battalion.

Stealing, what?

Somebody will hit me with a drop because of you.

Do you have anything? -Nothing stolen.

Wait!

Stolen, what? Look how many there are.

Did you ask the owner? - Why? He has too much, and I have nothing.

That's allowed. Did you hear Bat's lecture?

He didn't talk like that. -But?

I'm going to headquarters anyway. I'll ask him. -Wait!

You're going to headquarters? -Yes.

You want to ride a bike?

You're giving it to me? -I'll lend it to you.

But not a word to Bat. Are we even?

I have something for you.

Cigarettes. You're rich!

Is this, "someone has too much, and I don't? -No, I got them.

Watch the wheel.

Cikalo!

Get up, scarecrow. You're kidding again.

Say something, make a joke. You can ride.

Milun, what happened?

Cikalo is dead.

Did you run into an ambush?

Borko, you're back? How are you?

Hello, Comrade Commissar.

Bo�ko, come here.

You're not going to watch any more. You're getting double meals.

Take care of yourself. Look at the way you are.

Bo�ko will be a delegate to Congress. -What Congress?

Antifascist Youth. They'll come from all over Yugoslavia.

Why me? -Borko is also a delegate.

He's not a Skojevec. -Who says he's not?

He is from today. -So I'm a skojevec again.

Buha, you're going to have a speech.

It's better that Mica goes. He can speak.

Politically, the people are conscious, I don't know any of this.

You'll get everything written, learn it by heart.

If I wake you in the middle of the night,

You have to recite the speech like Our Father.

He doesn't know Our Father.

You would have died, If you hadn't interfered.

Long live the 1st Congress of Antifascist Youth!

Good, now the other one.

Comrade Supreme Commander, comrades, companions delegates.

Our youth realizes ... - Louder.

... tasks on the battlefield against the hostile fascists.

The accent isn't correct.

And their assistants, domestic traitors.

Stop.

When you say "against hostile fascists,"

Clench your teeth, get angry!

How's it going? -Just an accent.

Arrange Borko and a Lale, they're in the delegation too.

We will take our comrades' Best Uniforms and hats.

Tell Sirogojno, Let me borrow his hat.

Ok.

There's no room. -I'm a delegate. -Yes, me too. -I was in there already.

What's up, kid? You want me to pick you up? -No.

You will now be welcomed by the delegate Bo�ko Buha.

He's really small as a flea. -My comrades.

He's smaller than the rifle.

Comrade Supreme Commander, comrades, comrade delegates.

We fighters and our youth... We are aware... We...

I didn't hide either before Swabian bunkers,

I won't be here either!

I don't know how to talk, But I can tell you

how bomba�e attack the Swabian bunkers.

Hooray for Bo�ka Buho!

Did you see Tito? -Just like you are now.

We greeted and talked.

He offered me cigarettes. -Did you take it? -I'm not crazy.

I said, thank you, Comrade Tito, I don't smoke.

"Smart, it's not for the kids."

Why didn't you say you were going to take them to Sirogojno? -I did.

And what did he say?

He asked who was Sirogojno is. He hasn't heard of him.

The best bomber behind me, I replied.

A church expert. -Give me my hat back.

They left the door open. -They don't expect us in the daytime.

Strike. -Wait!

Do you hear? A Slavonian song.

Some of your countrymen. -No.

It's Usta�a. Take the machine gun. Cover me.

The accordion is damaged.

Shoot, what are you waiting for?

I can't do it. You shoot. You see, he's alive!

It exploded. He's going to die.

Stop!

To the right!

Halt!

Where are you from, Commander? Serbia?

Yes, but among us are also Slovenes and Dalmatians.

What about those little heroes? Are you bomba�i? -Yes.

Partisan artillery. -We have them, too.

These are ours. They're couriers. -Everyone works.

You going?

You'll see some Confiscated films.

You will be convinced of the lies of hostile propaganda.

They think, that the Partisans were destroyed.

Now we're going to see this, then we'll talk.

Let's get started!

After the German units cleared Montenegro,

they fear the Bolshevik gangs continue in the mountains.

Pridite nekaj pogledat.

So many of you! Why don't you watch the movie?

We look at it every day.

We thought they were real films, not magazines.

The real films were taken by the Germans.

Mister, Do you have any love movies?

Love, huh? I have some nice pictures.

Take a look at them, then return them.

Greta Garbo. -Look at her boobs.

Show me!

Clark Gable. -German? -Oh, no! American.

Dedec! -Look at that moustache.

Look. - It's not from the movie. - I know, but why has he got this?

Comrade!

Are you looking for someone? -Yes, a shoemaker.

There's one here. We'll show you.

Thanks. Is he working? -It's late. -He's staying at the workshop.

Down this street, across from command. Stanko is there.

This is our gymnasium. We are arranging it for the dance tomorrow.

I know, they told us. Thanks again. Bye.

He's not here. He's repairing footwear.

Were you at my place at the movies? Yes.

You were spinning...? -Come.

Wait for him, he'll be back soon.

Wait here. Sit down.

How are you doing all this? Movies, pictures...

You mean a projectionist and a photographer?

The cinema is my horse. I have to develop movies.

Through the window you'll be able to see the skojevec when he returns.

Comrade! -I'll be right back.

Come on out! -What is? Are you bored?

What is this? Germans!

I also have one with Ustasha. -With Ustasha?

Just picture fascists? -That's what I do for a living.

The party comes, I make pictures.

You keep pictures of the Germans. I also saw a "V" in the cinema.

You didn't burn them. -What if they return to the city?

Can you give me a written confirmation that you will stay here forever?

You better not be. That's what they're shooting at.

You work with the invaders. -But this is my craft.

If your comrades come, What do you want me to do?

Take a picture. Sure. If I don't, I'll lose my head.

The Germans and Ustashas are one thing, we're the other.

Let's go! - Did not I explain?

Do you mean to scare me? Wear the coat!

Where are you taking me? -To Headquarters.

To Headquarters?

I know what it means to go to headquarters.

If you're going to punish me or kill me, you better kill me here.

What are you talking about? Go.

Go on!

Don't, comrade, please.

This studio gives me bread.

It's not my fault that there were Germans and Ustasha here before you.

No, please.

Would you dare tell a German, To photograph only partisans?

The city constantly passes from hand to hand.

Please don't. I have two sons.

The elder has completed 12 years, She's like you.

Who's going to feed them, if I die?

No, please.

Stop! - We stopped. -What do you want?

Nothing, comrade. This is...

Which? There's no one else.

Go home, comrade. -Thank you. Good night.

It's hot. -The mustache will melt. -Shut up.

Ladies Choose. -Not ladies, comrades.

What's up, guys? Why don't you dance?

You've grown a little. -The cobbler stretched him out.

He's got double soles. -Is that right?

I still have a star from your necklace.

I lost your scarf, when Jovica fell.

When winter comes, I'll get you a new one.

Do you think we will be fighting this winter too? -No.

I think we'll see after the war.

Me. -Yes.

I waited for you to invite me to dance, and you are important.

Me? -Yes.

No, honestly. We just arrived now.

This dance chooses comrades? - So I came for you.

Why are you yelling at me? -So. I know who you are.

You had a speech in Congress. Bo�ko Buha.

I told you how to throw bombs.

How are you, Bo�ko? -Good.

This is my commanding officer. -It's nice to meet you. You, too.

I'm sorry, the bombs are disturbing me. I'll give them to Sava.

Why don't you introduce me to the girl?

What's your name? -Jasna.

It's a pretty name.

All fighters should immediately Report in units!

The rest of you go home. The dance is done. -Why?

We expect an enemy attack. Don't panic!

The young men in the city will be in your search.

They can't even grab guns. -They'll learn.

How long will you be working for children? -Not long.

Transfer some of your kids to another search. -No!

I won't let them now! What is this?

Playing with a rifle. Somebody's going to get hurt.

Why are you shooting at a dog?

Shoot at Germans.

You're going to get that in your mouth.

What? - What do you want? - I'll show him.

You're just making a mustache, I'il deal with him myself.

Look, it will not be with me then.

We'll talk about that. -Who shot? -Newcomers.

We practiced and shot at a dog. -A dog?

Save the ammo.

Anybody hurt? -No.

They shot at the dog.

At a dog? What will become of them, When they grow up?

Ask them over there.

That's what affected your dog.

When we talk about these children,

we always mention war, killing.

We never said the word "love." None of us.

I've been thinking about it. They don't know what that means.

But why did we forget? -No, Rada.

You're like a mother to them. Well, Lune.

Kids after fights go to him Like their father.

Maybe.

But they call you dad.

You're in my cell from today.

Elder, each will be responsible for one of them.

I'll take that one, who shot at the dog. -Quiet!

Newcomers, with tens of thousands. Guy, calm!

At ease!

What do you want?

Thank you, Comrade Commander.

What smoke.

I wanted to say a few words to you.

We never have time to talk.

You've been in my squad for two years.

You weren't always easy with me.

And neither was I with you. I just wanted to tell you...

What's to stay! You, stallions.

You know you're good. The best fighters in the squad.

At ease.

Long Live Comrade Tito!

I just couldn't wait, to come to town.

As soon as we settled in, I came here.

I was afraid. We've been free again for three days.

I stood in front of the house for two hours. I met your friend.

Miro? -Yeah.

What's up, Jasna?

Miro didn't tell you? -No. What's that?

They cut me.

You're ever prettier now.

Really.

My mom flattened my hair a little. It was terrible.

Who cut your hair? Why? -Germans.

Some of them were shot.

We were outed as followers of the partisans.

They shut down high school, too. -I'm going to Ma�ceval.

Leave it like that, please.

You're really pretty.

You hear that? Music. Let's go look. -Wait.

Let's go. -I can't because of my hair.

I'll come back again.

Wait. Let me beautify you for the wedding.

You do wedding portraits too? -Only partisans.

What do they do in Command?

The church and the mosque are now command. They're reporting there.

The commissars have become priests?

If I said that, he would immediately take me to the headquarters.

It's the last movie. Because you are so good,

Come with your comrades to the studio. I'll take all your portraits.

They are coming!

Look at those!

My commander would punish them. They're wasting ammo.

Look at those people shooting at the battles and funerals.

Watch it! I'm photographing.

Let's see the gun. It's a wedding gift.

Give me a rose for a bride.

Why did we withdraw from the city without a fight?

So that civilians would not suffer.

Where is Pu�kar? - He's picking up stragglers.

Watch out! When they appear, Don't shoot.

Wait for them to attack With the mortars from that hill.

Then fire! Understood? -Understood!

Airplanes! Be careful.

Are you crazy? -My commander!

Comrade, Help! -He's finished. -No!

He's alive! Help him to the first carrier, please.

I told you he was alive. -Where are the others? -They're with �or�e.

Come on, you, get on with them.

Don't go away! He's alive! -Make peace, Bosko.

No one will take off their hats, as long as I am alive.

Bo�ko, he's dead.

He's not dead! No!

Where's �or�e? -There.

Take it. Pu�kar has fallen. -What?

Pu�kar has fallen. -No!

People, Germans! The Germans are coming!

Artillery! Attack!

Stop! Sirogojno! What are you waiting for? Attack!

The worst was on the Sutjeska. -What about Treskavica?

That's where Jovica fell. -He died at Mrkonjic Grad.

And Romanija? It was also very bad there.

What was the name of the girl who fell with Seko? -Radmila.

Chikalo died there, too.

The worst was at the church in Tihem Dolu.

It's worse today.

Here you are, boys. -Here we are.

I put you in a barracks. The commode is next door.

Go, good night.

Where's Buha? -He went out. He'll be right back.

You're filthy! You're going to have a good bath tonight.

Stallions.

They followed you.

Where is he now? -Her father is a doctor.

They're in the main hospital.

Thank you.

Look at him, kid. He says there's no film for us.

Mica, come on. Take it.

I just found her. -Germinal.

Are we even now? -Yes. -Give me a cigarette.

No. I don't smoke.

Doctor, where are you going? -To the main hospital.

Wait. I've never been to this miracle before.

I want to drive a little. -We'll be back late.

I'm begging you.

There's a man in the hospital... - A Slavonian?

No, from here. You don't know him.

Bato, can he come with us?

Come on. -Jump up.

Doctor, this car is seriously coughing. Give it some medicine.

Bo�ko, run! Chetniks!

Doctor!

Run!

Let us remember these pictures

for children and pupils,

which are too small for soldiers,

but big enough for heroes.

The End
