Story
A monument commemorating the liberation of the village from Bolshevik rule in 1920 is going to be unveiled in the former state farm community of Osiek. The village elder really wants to make the celebration a high profile event in order to promote the impoverished community. He decides they need a war veteran to add splendor to the occasion. However, finding a veteran from the 1920 war who is alive today is not easy. Marian, a shopkeeper from the village, promises to “supply” a veteran, in exchange expecting the chief to “supply” him a license for selling liquor in his shop…
