  This Serbian drama follows a half-dozen prostitutes who arrive to a small Serbian village on the Danube and get involved with six local men, including a campanologist seeking "blue tone" church bells and a famed fashion designer returning to his birthplace. Subplots include plans for stealing tulip bulbs from Holland to launch a local tulip industry and the marketing of a perfume with a hand-grenade package design. Each of us has a homeland. Sometimes we live in it, but if we don't, we like to come back to it from time to time. After a number of years Ivan Lepic, a famous fashion designer, known in both Belgrade and Paris, returns to the small town of his birth. Famous people are one-time kids who no one believed would do anything in the big wide world. When they visit their native regions, people don't quite know how to take them and they are even looked at a little suspiciously. Perhaps they too seek something the small village can no longer offer them. Love is blooming in the town. Six girls from Russia have met six of the local young men. The tango is their favorite dance.
