What happens
Montevideo, God Bless You! (Serbian: Монтевидео, Бог те видео!, romanized: Montevideo, Bog te video!; internationally titled Montevideo, Taste of a Dream) is a 2010 Serbian sports comedy film directed by Dragan Bjelogrlić about the events leading to the participation of the Yugoslavia national football team at the first FIFA World Cup in Montevideo, Uruguay in July 1930. The film gained considerable media attention throughout 2010 and achieved significant box office success in Serbia since its release on December 21, 2010. The entire project has been hugely successful regionally thus far. More than 520,000 people in Serbia saw the first film, which won numerous awards. The story is loosely based on the novel Montevideo, Bog te video by the prominent Serbian sports journalist Vladimir Stanković. He drew inspiration to write a romanticized depiction of the late 1920s Serbia and the events that popularized the game of football in the country after having watched the American film The Game of Their Lives. The film was awarded the 'Audience Choice Award' for Best Film in the main competition program at the 33rd Moscow International Film Festival. It was also Serbia's official submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 84th Academy Awards, but did not make the final shortlist. A sequel, See You in Montevideo, was released on January 14, 2014. Part of the movie was filmed in the city of La Laguna, Tenerife, and part of the movie was filmed in the city of Trieste.
