The Beauty of Vice
In the mountains of Montenegro people have lived by strict and Draconian laws for centuries, almost untouched by modern civilization. However, a young couple are going to seek their fortune on the more liberal coast and there they find jobs in the nudist colony. Hundreds of naked bodies and atmosphere of joie d'vivre make the husband and wife question their rigid way of life.

Traveling salesman in a small town before WW2 makes a solemn promise to kill himself. Later he finds that the local people took him very seriously.
A powerful ironic work of the society in which a hydro-central is erected in an area where there is no water.
A man with a missing eye witnesses, or imagines, others entering and/or leaving the rocky rubble he inhibits.
About a woman waiting for her sailor husband, and when he returns, "she continues to wait". It's a story of transience, and the deeper meaning of happiness. It's about all that's beautiful in this transient world.
Claustrophobic portrait of a docile rural wife's daily routine.
A young married couple live alone in the Montenegrian mountains and work hard to make ends meet. Their ordinary life is interrupted by various different characters who pass by their home, and serve as a temptation, both carnal and spiritual, which threatens to corrupt the woman's innocent soul. Each new visitor is a threat of sorts and gradually she becomes suspicious towards the world and the unknown.
Two themes arise from the story, themes that are interlocked: the theme of love and of man's eternal submission to traditional symbols. The director Živko Nikolić continues his movie saga of human nature. Both themes develop the mythical idea of temptation. It is basic human relation: from the intimate to the families' vying with each other.
The peace of a small fishing village is shattered by the coming of a young, and stunningly beautiful, wife of a local guest-worker. She intends to live in her father's house, which in the mean-time became a pub. From that moment her revenge begins, toying with to people, their passions and interests.
In an industrial town one business firm stands out with good management. Thanks to the agile director Todor, his successful policy of "World breakthrough" the whole town look forward to progress and incredibly quick prosperity in 1966.

His lonely, consequent, and reasonable admiration for Todor, his honesty and goodwill bring him into situations to which he can't and won't adapt to, nor will he quit...
A rural community in the mountains. A story about death.
