Through several narrative lines, using archival materials, new footage and recorded interviews, the film brings Nikolić’s work closer to a wider audience. We will be guided through the film by Živko’s son Petar, who will reveal more details about the relationship with his father, their conversations, dreams, desires, dreamed during the turbulent nineties.
