What happens

Barking at the Stars (Serbian: Лајање на звезде, Lajanje na zvezde) is a 1998 Yugoslav film directed by Zdravko Šotra. Although it was filmed during a decade of war and hardship in the former Yugoslavia, the film was overall praised for its wholesomeness, as it does not contain any swearing, nudity, or talk of politics.
