What happens

Doctor Homer's Brother (Serbo-Croatian: Brat doktora Homera / Брат доктора Хомера) is a 1968 Yugoslav feature film written and directed by Živorad "Žika" Mitrović. The film, which resembles some of Mitrović's earlier Partisan films, was strongly influenced by Hollywood westerns, as well as the then-popular Yugoslav Black Wave, as evident in its depiction of corrupt government officials in post-war Yugoslavia. The film's title song is performed by Arsen Dedić. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
