Operation Barbarossa is a kids TV show, based on the novel The Mysterious Boy by Ivan Kušan. It is a story about a boy who for some time lives in the belief that he is to blame for the death of a friend, a peer, who drowned in the Sava river. In order to cover up his death, the boy takes his name (because he had just come to Zagreb when he disappeared) also goes to another school. Thus, in two shifts (before noon - afternoon), he tries to be a student in two schools and gets into many dramatic situations. The riddle is, of course, solved by Kušan's main character Koko.

Melita is a young, perky and plumpy pastry shop worker who spends her evenings avoiding social gatherings, watching Latin American telenovelas, putting up with the constant romantic rendez vous of her roommate Višnja and fantasizing about, one day, being in a happy relationship with a mysterious and exotic stranger. What she doesn't realize, however, is that she has a secret admirer, the pastry shop's delivery driver Janko.

In Autumn of 1991, a Croatian soldier looses his wife and home to Serbian forces. Panicked, he grabs his daughter and, with nowhere else left to go, they leave for Zagreb, hoping to find shelter there. But, it turns out the streets of the war torn capitol are not much more safe nor pleasant than the village they had to leave behind.

Janko's life seemed to be in order. He had a great job and was in a steady relationship with his comissioner's daughter, whom he decided to leave after he falls for a pickopocket named Nana. However, even that relationship can't seem to fullfill his desires, so he starts a steamy affair with Marta Štajner, the widow of wealthy wartime-era crime lord Dragutin Karl Štajner. Wanting to impress his new fling, Janko decides to abuse his position as a police officer and starts getting further into criminal territory, but, he quickly gets in way over his head.

A disillusioned opera star, a lonely pastry chef, and a divorced Don Juan with an amorous history offstage make for choice ingredients in this poignant romantic tale spiced with Christmas cookies, borscht, and an alarming quantity of deadly insecticide. Director Tribuson demonstrates a deft talent for juggling comic romantic disasters from a woman’s point of view as her characters negotiate the bamboozling ways of love. Middle-aged Verica (acclaimed actress Marinković) pours her heart into her café’s pastries, but she can’t seem to find a like-minded lover until a duplicitous handyman with pheromones to spare and an eye for the ladies sets off a chain of unforeseen adventures all tied together by one fateful plate of tasty treats.

A trigger-happy police sergeant begins suspecting that his wife is having an affair, sending him into a fit of rampant fit of rage, jealousy and paranoia.
