The film uses a Croatian-Serbian romance to satirize political power and wealth, offering sharp cultural commentary. However, its diversity is narrow: no LGBTQ+ characters, no characters of color, and no disabled representation appear. Gender roles remain traditional, with the daughter’s engagement and pregnancy driving the plot while men control financial and political stakes. The regional focus justifies the ethnic composition but limits broader inclusion.
Category Breakdown
No LGBTQ+ characters appear or are identified. The central romance is strictly heterosexual, between a Croatian woman and a Serbian man, with no same-sex relationships depicted anywhere in the narrative.
The daughter’s engagement and pregnancy anchor the plot, framing her through traditional family expectations. Men control the financial and political stakes, as the father’s bankruptcy and the groom’s lineage drive the story.
The cast is entirely Croatian and Serbian, matching the film’s regional setting. No characters of color appear, and the narrative focuses exclusively on ethnic tensions between these two groups.
Satire targets political power and wealth, ridiculing the prime minister’s family. The film questions status markers by contrasting a bankrupt businessman with a politically connected groom, highlighting regional cultural dynamics.
No characters with physical or mental disabilities appear. Disability is absent from the story’s themes and character dynamics, with no representation or thematic engagement.

Official Synopsis
Miljenko, a successful Croatian businessman, receives the news that his company has just filed for bankruptcy. Things seem to be looking up, however, when his daughter announces not only her engagement, but also her pregnancy and upcoming nuptials. The only caveat? The love of her life is none other than the son of the Serbian prime minister.
