Synopsis
A typical cross-section of bigoted neighbours in an ordinary apartment building are invited to an intimate party to honor the memory of the late Marija Violiæ, a fellow tenant, friend and grandmother. Instead of descending into sentimental cliché, the party soon evolves into a reality show, complete with all-singing, all-dancing interludes. The venue for this unique gathering is Marija's apartment and the music is provided by the hired musicians - a bunch of complete unknowns as far as the guests are concerned but in real life, the hugely popular Czech dance electro-trash band Midi lidi. And the purpose of this unique get-together? To finally fulfill a long overdue family obligation to the late, great, dearly departed Marija.
A documentary musical comedy with elements of kitchen-sink realist drama, featuring Marija's three granddaughters: Nina, Željka and Danira.
