Praslovan

Praslovan is an emotional and inspiring biographical drama that follows the life and career of one of the most important singer-songwriters of the former Yugoslavia, Zoran Predin.

Through a retrospective of his greatest hits, the film shows how his songs reflected social changes and personal upheavals. The film ends with an intimate look at Zoran's life, including his ups and downs and his impact on his family and friends.
