[ 01:27:48 ]
Café BOOMERANG is one of Belgrade's many cafés. Seemingly the café is just a backdrop for our cast of crazy characters, but in reality it is much more than that.

Whats A Man Without A Moustache
Set in the harsh surroundings of the rural Croatian coast, “Whats A Man Without A Moustache?” is the story of a young widow Tatjana who falls for the local handsome priest, Stipan. The priest is not blind to her love, but being torn between a bankrupt parish and forbidden love, he finds it hard to submit to the uncompromising Tatjana. Parallel to this is the story of a middle-aged widower Marinko, a re-patriot from Germany. He sees in Tatjana a perfect opportunity to conceive a pure Croatian male descendant, after already having a teenage daughter Julia, who can hardly speak any Croatian. To make matters worse, she is secretly seeing a local ecologist Stanislav whose profession is not considered to be manly enough. While unable to escape an environment of prejudice, illusion and Balkan mentality, each character is constantly lingering between tragedy and comedy in search of happiness, which is still to be found.

Dead Weight
Dead Weight is a dark comedy about Jason, an everyday man who has accidentally killed for the first time in his life. He is left with a dead body laying on his living room floor and has no idea how to dispose of it. Throughout the film Jason tries to think of different ways to dispose of the corpse, with all of them failing in a comic way. Including the use of a dustbin and attempting to 'cram' the body's sawed off leg in the freezer. However, Jason's daydreaming ends when his wife, Rachael, arrives at the house making things far more difficult. He gets scared and in a blind panic ends up killing her as well, leaving him with 2 dead bodies on his hands.
