About A Shot in the Plum Yard Across the River
A young enthusiastic teacher comes to the mountain village to open a school along the party lines. The head of the municipality helps him with that, for he believes that the lofty goals justify all the means to achieve them. But, on the field, things among the peasants are not going smoothly.
Directed by Zdravko Šotra, A Shot in the Plum Yard Across the River leans on a strong ensemble — Adem Čejvan, Milan Štrljić, Svetolik Nikačević — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 1978.
