Program Note
In this frenetically paced farce, Jagoda (whose name means strawberry) is a checkout clerk at an American-style grocery store in Belgrade celebrating its grand opening. When a brazen co-worker steals her customer and potential date, Jagoda vents her frustration on an elderly lady searching for strawberries. The next day, a camouflage-clad war vet bursts in the store and takes everyone hostage. He′s the grandson of the disappointed shopper, out to avenge her mistreatment. The situation escalates (to hilarious effect) as the police and a special commando unit arrives to liberate the captives. Neat details particularize the plot′s absurdist premise: the police inspector and commando chief trade barbs on their country′s transition from strong-arm tactics to transparent negotiating techniques, and constantly dieting Jagoda finds love with her captor, who turns out to be a chef and nutritionist. Powered by music from Nelle Karajlić (the dynamic front man of Emir Kusterica′s No Smoking Orchestra), the film is a screwball comedy Balkan-style.
