Comedy. Ideology. Sexual, cultural and pyrotechnical revolution. East and West are waking, North and South are waking. A fast car and lovely women. The people are preparing for the ultimate totally defensive war. Seven coitus in one night. The voice of the millions is raised. The fate of half-hearted radicalism. Down with fascism and war. Bread and fat. Tears and smiles. Political science fiction. Alcohol. The problem of dragging the masses out of lethargy. Sport. The Communist Manifest. The State is too serious a matter to be turned into a laughing-stock. Simple training for a general strike. Bodily satisfaction for the second and third time. Policemen and hairdressers. Pre-war dens of luxury. The most beautiful female body in Serbia, more than four hundred shots, almost constantly on the screen. Deviant behaviour resulting from exhausting manual labour. The film critic Bogdan Tirnanic for the first and the last time on film. Various ways of preparing cabbage. How a half-harted revolutionary becomes a rebel who wants to change nothing but his own position. The use of fire-arms and properly filled bottles. Tears and smiles. Why about 90 % of all men and a somewhat smaller percentage of women masturbate at a fixed period in their lives. ''Serbs you live in fire and flame, all must marvel at your name.'' Stories from Siberia. Spirals, irrigator, cervical caps. From the Adriatic to Cathay, the sun of freedom lights our way. Revolutionaries who take the revolution only half-way, dig their own graves. Saint-Just.
