This is a story about seven people on ‘the fringe of society’.
No one ever explained to me this or other reasons for banning my documentaries. Angel Miladinov, who was an editor and without his courage they wouldn’t been done at all, made it all clear with a bottle of drink and coffee: ‘You make them, and I’ll try to make them play the films, but if I was to fail don’t ask me why!’ That was our only contract and we both honored it. For this documentary – at it was 2nd from 8 forbidden ones in 3 years – I only know that it was shown for years, sometimes few times a month, to a different kind of people at private screenings at Small Theatre of TV Zagreb in Dežmanova Street.
