After tonight’s premiere, the film begins its theatrical run throughout Serbia, followed by numerous festivals in Europe and the world.
The film is a court drama about the trial of the accomplices of the assassination of King Alexander in Marseille in 1934. Based on authentic transcripts from the trial, according to which the script was created, the film reveals some hitherto unknown details about the conspiracy and the murder itself, which have long been kept as state secrets in some countries, while shedding new light on the whole atmosphere in Europe before the Second World War, which, as the film itself suggests, practically began with this assassination, much earlier than official history marks its beginning.
