The story behind and around famous American director Nicholas Ray's 1960s stay in SFR Yugoslavia. The celebrated director who was the toast of Hollywood only a decade earlier having made Rebel Without a Cause has fallen on hard times and is now desperately trying to re-establish his spiraling film career. On the other hand, his powerful host, Avala Film director and former Yugoslav secret service operative Ratko Dražević, is dreaming big dreams - he is trying to establish a 'Hollywood behind the Iron Curtain' of sorts.

A documentary about favorite shopping destination for Yugoslavs: Trieste in Italy.

Maybe it wouldn't, but we didn't even try. Boško Obradović, dentist for children and youth from Pula, was one of those who recorded reality, warned of what was to come and knew that the past would always be manipulated. Almost 40 years ago, he wrote atomic verses, which we have been living for the past four decades, but still today. And every time, when hope was created, we would fail to find shelter... From the same mistakes and the same stumbles. Boško and others like him were neither prophets nor visionaries, but they knew what was coming after... After hellish drivers, new careerists, the third world war. In vain, he urged his own, but also all future generations not to whine. "Made in Pula", by Rada Đurić, is a film that reminds and believes. He owes it to all those who do not give up.
