The story
The short documentary film by director and screenwriter Mako Sajko focuses on what happened on and along the Yugoslav-Italian border in the 1960s. It describes life and friendly neighborly relations in a border area where the exchange of goods between the two countries takes place almost unhindered in a humorous and light-hearted manner. The documentary dispels myths about the impenetrable and strict border between the then Eastern and Western blocs, which over the years has been called the "Iron Curtain".
