Ratko's idealism is much more believable and thus his utter love for Suzana. Koljevic uses magic realism to tell this story but unfortunately uses it in some places to cover for normal character development, this goes especially for Aleksandras character who falls in love with Ratko on a very thin basis (Stockholm syndrome? or maybe the python?). It is obvious that the main actors have made a great effort in preparation and execution of their roles so the Slovenian actress (Aleksandra Balmazovic) is totally believable as a genuine Beograd born lost generation city girl and Srjdan Tododrovic as a naive faith driven Bosnian Serb. Again like in so many similar movies (that have a sub-story of collapsing Yugoslavia) the bitter-sweet humor that has been associated with Serbian mentality is what drives this movie forward and makes it a very enjoyable affair. The director (and writer) of this movie was clearly influenced by a great director Emir Kusutrica when making this great road movie.
