Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during Yugoslavia's 'Black Wave' cinema movement, though notably lighter than the bleak social critiques of Žilnik or Pavlović. The film's domestic comedy approach to sexual repression was considered safe enough to avoid censorship.
Dragan Radulović never acted again after this—his entire film career is 74 minutes of virginity anxiety. Some performances are simply too powerful to follow.
