Set during the Bosnian war in the early 1990s, Luka is a mild-mannered railway clerk whose life is turned upside down, not just by the outbreak of the war, but when his wife runs off with a local musician. Then Luka's son is conscripted and eventually captured in the fighting. To recover his son, Luka is commanded to guard a pretty young Muslim nurse who will be used in a hostage swapping operation.

A film director, an actor, a musician, an organizer of festivals, a husband, a father, a grand-father, a friend, a professor... This film is an unexpected meeting with one of the most fascinating European film directors: Emir Kusturica. This is a journey to memory and forgetfulness. Beyond success, money, dependencies and pride. A deeper look into the world of Kusturica and his Wooden city at Mokra Gora. A tale about the won battles, as well as the lost ones. About the everlasting curiosity in filmmaking.

It is a live record of a show of this band in one of their first presentations in Argentina. All done with the ease and artistic self-confidence that the Serbian film director has. With that gypsy music of the Balkans plus some rock, they capture here with a lot of energy and humor an almost circus show. Recorded March 3, 2005 at the Luna Park Stadium in Buenos Aires.

A documentary about the band "No Smoking Orchestra".
