Synopsis
The film documents student demonstrations in Belgrade, in June 1968. Žilnik immerges a professional actor in a real life situation: in front of an immense crowd, Stevo Žigon declaims Robespierre’s monologue extracted from Dantons Tod [Danton’s Death], by Büchner. Žilnik goes from being an observer to becoming an active participant in the story, a film director.
