a sharp political comment posturing a a come of age story be what this movie be . the annoy thing be that it work effectively on both level . it isn not suppose to but it do . this tale of four boy and a girl grow up in 1953 communist belgrade be a heart warmer . it be what gentleman refer to a classic cinema . obviously and 1953 belgrade be not a harsh a dictatorial and fascist environment a the communist society be often portray . one can listen to rock and roll music and one of the song play be the song hey babu riba ala the title of the movie . but jean can not be buy nor certain drug which be illegal to possess . unlike a heavy hand criticism of a communist society this movie do it by show how it affect the life of the five protagonist who refer to themselves a we four . the girl who have a father in exile in italy and be await a passport for her mother and she to travel out to join him and the piano that be take away from communion use from one of the boy and the sudden give of your home and quarter to your new comrade because they need it . the boys spend a lot of time listen to music and it be make clear they despise the fascism that communism have create a they engage in tiff with a fascist charlatan who have stalin tattoo on his hand . these all lead to the action they take later on and the remembrance of a time fade away and a this movie be release in 1986 in the twilight of the soviet empire . a great movie worth see again and again . repentance be not your enemy but yet it be also nobody friend .
