Storyline

To the public, Sasa Antic is known as the songwriter and co-author of the excellent lyrics and music for the many hits by the Split group TBF. The Toni Volaric documentary goes behind the scenes of Sara Antic and his work within and outside of TBF. It attempts to depict alive the environment in which he is at his most creative; where there is no mobile phone signal, in a space marked as a nuclear shelter. For the first time, the camera is allowed to see how he comes up with the brilliant lyrics, most of which talk about the current socio-political situation in the country; always critical but sharp and to the point. His lyrics have been compared to Johnny Stulic and his creativity to the younger version of Miljenko Smoje.

No other songwriter has ever so accurately described the specific 'Split way of the mind' (one of his early hits), nor so directly, but objectively criticized the bad aspects of privatisation in the region, as this self-effacing and way-too modest poet. Saša writes ten hours per day, creating lyrics which are always well accepted and sung by hundreds of thousands of people.
