A spectre is haunting Belgrade – the spectre of Josip Broz Tito (1892–1980). Here, he is embodied by actor Dragoljub Ljubičić. Wearing the familiar marshal’s uniform, the peaked cap of an army general and sunglasses of unmistakable 1970s vintage, he is immediately recognisable as the former president of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. People on the street give free rein to their feelings. Either they berate him for causing the war in the Balkans or they revere him as the guarantor of peace, they vaunt their former prosperity or complain about the current shortages.<br /> Conceived as a tongue-in-cheek “happening”, the stunt proves to be a catalyst for an unfiltered expression of psychological tensions in society before taking a serious turn when “Tito” talks to a traumatised war veteran. The film was produced by the independent TV broadcaster B92. With it, Želimir Žilnik, who won the Golden Bear at the 1969 Berlin Film Festival for his narrative feature <em class="film-other">Rani radovi</em> (<em class="film-other">Early Works</em>), furthered to great effect the docu-drama format typical of his work.
