Underground Page #2

Synopsis: The story follows an underground weapons manufacturer in Belgrade during WWII and evolves into fairly surreal situations. A black marketeer who smuggles the weapons to partisans doesn't mention to the workers that the war is over, and they keep producing. Years later, they break out of their underground "shelter" --- only to convince themselves that the war is still going on.

it's a shelter for humans!

I'm closing!

This is horrible!

Horrible!

Where are you now, Blacky,

you bastard?

Has it st... st...

Yes, it's started, it's started!

It's started!

Grandad!

Marko!

Blacky's wife

...is giving birth!

- Out of the way!

Please, quickly!

Bring some water,

a sheet, any white piece of cloth...

Quickly! It's coming!

Don't worry.

Is everything all right?

It will be, but I need more light.

Right, lift up the bicycle!

Come on, higher!

Ivan!

I don't feel well.

Everything will be fine.

No, it won't. It won't.

If anything happens to me...

call him Jovan.

Vera!

Belgrade was suffering

an open fracture of its soul...

Stop, stop,

swift waters of the Ibar

Why are you in such a hurry

All together!

I have my sorrows too

Deeper than you may know

The drinks are on me.

It's my son's birthday!

Here's my Jovan!

Look at him!

Handsome lad, Blacky!

Congratulations!

He will be, Mustafa!

I'll send him to school in Moscow

to be an officer,

not a thief like you.

You motherfucking crook!

We're partners.

But for how long?

What's up?

Are you thieves getting jumpy?

My friend!

Happy birthday to your Jovan,

my friend!

My good old friend!

Look at him.

He's my spitting image!

With a hint of Vera.

You think so?

What kept you?

There's a traitor among us.

We've got problems.

Those three are here.

I saw them. Hang around.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Good evening!

If you please, gentlemen...

I'm doing this for your own good.

Gentlemen, please...

Franz!

Flowers for Natalija!

He kills us and fucks her!

Excuse me.

Get me the biggest bouquet

you can find.

Sure.

- What about the priest?

- All arranged.

Perfect...

My friend,

there'll be a wedding!

Now let's play fair.

Here's my gun, give me yours.

That's fair.

This is gold. See it?

This is gold, right?

How much did the gold bring in?

Look at it!

How much did it bring in?

Look at it!

How much for the gold?

Mustafa, you said 120,000.

Never mind.

Now tell me where the weapons are

and we're done.

I swear on my mother's grave,

the Germans took them.

Leave your mother out of this!

Motherf***er!

You steal my money?

I rob banks, jewellery stores,

and you f***ers steal my money!

You dirty f***ing thieves!

I'll kill you all, you bastards!

I'll clean Belgrade

of scum like you!

Our comrades are shot in the woods,

they eat roots and you steal...

You've gone crazy!

No, guys,

we don't play this way...

Hold these, honey, please.

Faster and louder!

Here I come, my friend!

Hang on!

Watch out!

Here I come!

Not in my ear!

Left! Left! Left!

I have to tell you something,

you being the Party Secretary...

If anything,
