Melkior Tresic is one of many intellectuals in 1941 Zagreb who is helplessly waiting for the encroaching war.

In Norway a military plane crashes under mysterious circumstances: in his last message the pilot reported many lights falling from the sky. NATO wants to play down the incident, but the famous TV moderator George Abbot and the no less persistent journalist Milker sense a sensational story about UFOs and start snooping around in the area with help of pilot "Bird" McNamara. Inspired by the suspiciously rigorous isolation of the whole area around the crash point and cases of an unknown disease they have a closer look at the military's activities...

Very strange, near non-narrative film that pays tribute to a poet's little remembered work and death. I came in on this film by chance not knowing anything about it. The beautiful B&W cinematography stopped me then a ten minute silent scene hooked me. Films like WR;Mysteries of the Orgasm, Closely Watched Trains, Zentropa, early Foreman, even Fellini come to mind while viewing these images of humanity and totalitarian illogic. Anyone who's in the mood for a challenging, 60's style, art film will be very pleased seeing this. It sort of validates the importance of art house cinema and its culture. QUESTION: Can anyone email me with information or insights about the Yugoslav poetry movement? I'd like to learn more about this film and filmmaker. Rarely do you see anything this good on public TV and not have read something about it.
