A forgotten mutiny that nearly changed history — 58 minutes of sailors saying 'nah' to empire.
In this TV film, the action takes place in the Bay of Kotor in 1918, where the famous revolt of sailors of the Austro-Hungarian fleet happened, here reconstructed in the form of a docudrama.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 1918 Cattaro mutiny was the largest naval uprising of WWI, inspiring both Bolshevik sailors and later Yugoslav partisan mythology.
Filmed in the actual Bay of Kotor with Yugoslav Navy cooperation — some extras were actual sailors who'd inherited the revolutionary legacy.
