Plots(1)
A film about factory workers who, after six years without pay, decide to organize a lie-in on the road in front of their place of employment. Oki is an unemployed worker and a union leader. His son Gruja is a film director who, out of work for ten years, films weddings and funerals to make ends meet, but also to save money for his big cinematic debut. His girlfriend Bela, a jobless opera singer, tries to earn money singing arias door to door... The White Lions is a comedy about bankrupt factories and their employees, with no hopes for improving their lives. A metaphor for people who fight for their spot under the sun, struggling for survival like the rarest white lions. Persuasive performances dominate, as does the vivid characters' colourful language. In a certain sense, the film could be taken as an anti-globalization declaration of anarchy, rendered with the humour typical of Serbian cinema. (Art Film Fest)
