What happens

Innocence Unprotected (Serbo-Croatian: Nevinost bez zaštite, Serbian Cyrillic: Невиност без заштите) is a compilation film by Yugoslav director Dušan Makavejev. Makavejev's film is based on Dragoljub Aleksić's 1942 film of the same title that was never released. In 1968, Makavejev established the film and expanded it with newsreel footage and interviews with surviving cast members. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
