Matko is a small time hustler, living by the Danube with his 17-year-old son Zare. After a failed business deal he owes money to the much more successful gangster Dadan. Dadan has a sister, Afrodita, that he desperately wants to see get married so they strike a deal: Zare is to marry her.

This is a whirlwind of vibrant chaos, a madcap journey through a world bursting with anarchic humor and infectious gypsy music. It feels like a joyous, unpredictable celebration of life, love, and the wonderfully absurd, all unfolding with frenetic energy and a deeply romantic heart.
