Synopsis
Grga Pitic and Zarije are old gypsies, both in their eighties, with a lifetime of schemes behind them. Zarije's son Matko gets Grga to subsidise a heist he has planned. However, the heist goes wrong, and his partner Zare demands that in compensation Matko's son Zare must marry Dadan's sister Afrodita. Neither wants the marriage through the preparations and plottings, Grga and Zarije are reconnected as their families and friends cope with betrayals, lust, mishaps, parties, death, some rousing gypsy music, pigs, geese--and the pursuit of true love and friendship.
