Lemon, owner of a private security box is forced, if he wants to save his marriage, the protection of the first Gay Pride in Belgrade, threatened by the Nazis. For this former Serbian soldier of the Kosovo war a little redneck and very homophobic, this situation is unbearable. Quickly abandoned by its employees, share with fellow organizer of the march make a journey through the former Yugoslavia to find veterans: one Bosniak, one Croat, one Kosovar, all as homophobic as he but are willing to help in memory of their friendship combat (sometimes born of strange situations). ---- This could have a serious film dealing with the depressingly virulent homophobia prevailing in Eastern Europe. The director takes the challenge of handling the most grotesque clich?s and the most hackneyed. We have the right to homosexuals to zero but strong fight with deco and design, the "real men" who love guns and dressed in jogging, but the image is so exaggerated that it makes you laugh and think. The issue of discrimination is also addressed through the prism of racism in this region deeply divided. Meet these veterans in the same car could come from Srdjan Dragojevic which is not his first attempt after The Band's Visit , film taking place in the occupied Palestinian territories. But if the film plays the card of humor, we can not forget that it is based on real events. In 2010 several hours of clashes between police and ultra-nationalist cause 150 wounded. The next two years walking is prohibited. Each year worldwide, racist or homophobic attacks kill. The violence of the debate on marriage for everyone shows that rejection of difference is the prerogative of any region of the world and that the road ahead is still long. Bali
