Synopsis
Two days before the wedding, Dragana, the bride, declares that she won’t go through with it even though everything is prepared. Leso, the merciless patriarch of the groom’s family, offers this to the rebellious bride – do the damn wedding, and then go wherever you want. She accepts. Momo, the groom, is still in love with her and hopes she will stay. A traditional Montenegrin wedding includes an ensemble of wild characters who follow a series of absurd steps, complete with alcohol, gunfire and dynamite. This joyfully farcical event will also bring the worst of their personal dilemmas into play.
