Plot edit

The plot of this urban comedy takes place in the 1990s, during a single evening in Belgrade. Mare, Pop and Gojko are three friends who grew up together. Mare and Pop have always wanted to be musicians, while Gojko, whom the two bullied and gave the nickname "Sisa" (meaning "sissy"), became a businessman, the owner of a club and a recording studio.

Pop and Mare ask Gojko to help them release their drum and bass album, but Gojko hasn't forgotten the teasing he endured during his childhood and intends to take his revenge on them. It's a long night in Belgrade, and along the way Pop and Mare become interested in a girl named Kata, who happens to be Gojko's girlfriend. They also encounter Kata's friend, Lola, who is an aspiring singer, but lacks a backing band and seeks help from Gojko. While driving to a party Pop, Mare and Kata spot a burglar dressed as Santa Claus robbing a pharmacy for prescription drugs and let him ride with them after being nearly spotted by the police. Meanwhile, Gojko reveals to Lola that he intends to take the money given to him by Pop and Mare to produce their demo tape and use it to finance Lola's career. She immediately calls Mare and tells him about Gojko's plan, and he, Pop and Kata try to come up with a way to get their tape and money back. Before Kata confronts Gojko at his club, he breaks up with her, causing her to storm out. Left without a plan, they keep driving around aimlessly until they're pulled over by a policeman, who threatens arrest over drug possession, but subsequently reveals that he is a sympathizer of the opposition and doesn't care much for his job, thus deciding to accompany them out of boredom. While sitting outside, they meet football player Dušan Savić, who motivates them to take a stand. With the cop's help, Mare and Kata enter Gojko's club and begin their showdown. At the same time, Lola and her makeshift band begin a concert at the same club. Mare and Kata escape with the tape and money and confess their love to each other, while Pop gets together with Lola. After they spend the rest of the night in the car, Kata and Lola leave early in the morning. Marko and Pop also leave and "Santa Claus" and the cop take their car.
