What happens

The Tough Ones (Serbo-Croatian: Delije, Serbian Cyrillic: Делије) is a 1968 Yugoslav feature film directed by Mića Popović. It belongs to the Yugoslav Black Wave movement, partly because of the modernist style (where black and white is mixed with color photography), but also because of the content that showed the dark side of communist Yugoslavia in its initial years.
