A comedy about six friends from Belgrade who decide to form a movement - a satirical group which makes fun of the political system in Serbia through their silly initiatives.
Although it all starts as joking around in their spare times, these people quickly generates enormous support from the people with the help of social networks and their movement, with the satirical slogans they create, begins to create a spike in the polls, rattling political cages ahead of nationwide elections.
From that moment on, these young and naive people discover the darkest secrets of Serbia's political sphere and are thus sucked into an undercover world of corruption, huge sums of money, obscene private parties and underground state structures which seem to be ruling Serbia through blackmail and threats.
Will these young people be able to overpower the dark forces that they have collided with?
Throughout the movie, a supporting character is a sickly pooch, a dog which is a part of the young gang, constantly sick and on the edge of death. The dog is a metaphore for Serbia - no matter how low the chances of recovery are, the youths take care of it, as they love it just the way it is.
