BEAUTIFUL EVENING, BEAUTIFUL DAY

Sweeping historical epic, a tribute to love and loyalty

(Lijepa večer, lijep dan)

Four close friends, all homosexual, fought against the Ustasha and the Nazis by joining Tito's National Liberation Struggle.

Sixteen years later, now that they have become renowned filmmakers, they make films in which they criticise the society of their time while freely expressing their sexuality. Emir, a loyal member of the Communist Party, is tasked with sabotaging their careers and lives...

The black-and-white film, very raw in its sex scenes and torture scenes, navigates a world of pretence, frustration and cowardice, sometimes imbued with a certain humanity, and strangely resonates in today's polarised world.

A compelling historical epic and a tribute to love, loyalty and the power of art and friendship.
