Tito and Me

Goran Markovic, known more for his dramatic work, achieved something that’s eluded many great filmmakers – both smart and funny comedy. Based loosely on his own life as a kid growing up in Tito’s communist Yugoslavia in the 1950s, the movie centers around 10-year-old Zoran whose inspired poem about Tito written on a spur-of-the-moment-basis as an in-class assignment, earns him a trip with other deserving pupils retracing Tito’s “revolutionary trails” in Tito’s hometown of Kumrovec.
