Synopsis:
A bleakly comic drama about a generation of Serbian men caught between the fall of Communism and the rise of a new Europe. A long night's drunken journey of the soul as old friends find out what unites them and what has exiled them forever from an image of the past.

Synopsis:
"Sajtinac was in West Yorkshire for only three days, though that was enough time to notice "the way it rains in that boring way it does". His point is that for the generation who grew up under communism, then went through the war, Huddersfield - even in the rain - seems a distant realm of infinite promise. Set in the obscure Serbian town of Zrenjarin, the play commemorates a beer-and-spliff-fuelled reunion of a group of former school friends coming to terms with turning 30. Rasha, possessor of a dark and dangerous intellect, lives in a sty and behaves like a pig. Even the toilet door has fallen prey to his drunken father's haphazard asset-stripping. Downstairs, his friend Ivan is a damaged poet who is in and out of mental institutions. And Igor, who left to make a new life in England, is back home to intensify their sense of self-loathing.
