Zvonimir Kostić

A story about war-disabled combatants that fought in Serbo-Turkish wars in 1876-1878. Left on their own and without limbs, they became beggars – a burden for the state that doesn’t pay attention about them. Their destiny depends exclusively on people who feel sympathy.

A provincial family looks forward to their new, cosy flat in the city blocks.

An eminent and respected merchant has a problem with gambling, alternately winning and losing until the fateful night when he loses everything. He decides to kill himself, but his wife stops him. Kind words make him go with his son to the church to pray and start new life from the beginning. Based on a novel by famous Serbian writer Laza Lazarevic.
