Goran is 30, living in a small Bosnian town. Unlike his friends, whose lives have been seriously altered by war (his best friend Miro lost both his arms in the war), Goran got away from it almost untouched. He lives off his parents' inheritance and spends his days boozing with his buddies. One day, all his friends get killed in a drunken altercation. This throws him completely off his routine, and he decides to sell all his belongings and start doing something memorable. He ends up going from town to town, spending one day in each of them, and handing away completely free drinks, for as long as the money he got after selling all his belongings lasts. In the first town he visits with his travelling bar, he decides that he himself won't drink a drop of alcohol on the entire journey. He is initially stymied by the huge distrust of people upon seeing the sign "All for Free".

All for accolades, start applauding this fine film now
Goran lives in present day Bosnia. The country, which experienced serious and violent conflicts in the nineties, has not recovered. The fields are loaded with mines and cannot be farmed and the economy is greatly in jeopardy. Goran, himself, is luckier than most, having a house left to him by his parents. His roommate, however, has lost both arms to the land mines and depends on Goran for many things. Both of them, obviously depressed, drink heavily every evening at a friend's saloon. A tragedy leaves Goran in a quandary. He decides to sell his parent's home and use the money to travel somewhere off in the horizon. By chance, he invests some funds in a roving diner and goes about the countryside, setting up his little restaurant. Unusually, though, Goran has written a sign above the establishment, a sign almost beyond belief. Everything Goran sells is free. This confuses and, subsequently, delights everyone, including a most attractive young lady in a lovely village. Will contentment finally rain down on dear Goran? Despite some comic moments, this fine film is not a comedy but a mixture of fleeting happiness and heartache. Bosnia is still a place of sorrow and, as this movie shows, searching desperately for an improvement in circumstance. Even so, the human spirit is hard to trample down completely. All of the actors in the film deliver their parts very nicely and the locale is exotic and eye-opening to the armchair traveler. The movie has a respectable look and direction to it, too, which was most likely hard to do, given the budget restraints. If you like to wander away from standard Hollywood fare, on occasion, try to locate this foreign film at the usual video outlets. Although it may leave one a bit moist around the eyes, it is a compelling story. Moreover, it may give the viewer insight into an area of the world that still needs help from its neighbors on planet earth.
A lifelike sombre Bosnian story with an acceptable ending.
I had the chance to catch the movie at the premiere screening at the Sarajevo Film Festival and it was definitely worth the time. This Croatian / Bosnian / Serbian co-production seems to have brought together some of the finest actors from the region giving the movie that quite recognizable Yugoslavian flavour in front as well as behind the cameras (one can only guess). This unpretentious story gave us the chance to see a lot of the actors in an entirely new light and to finally see that they actually CAN act and have been victims of type-casting that made it impossible for them to show what they can really do. Kudos to the writers on avoiding the question of nationalities and simply dealing with the common everyday folk. This may seem artificial for people who have never been in contact with this region but it is actually a down to earth vision of a land filled with people having no real aims in their life... or do they? Definitely a movie not to be overlooked. (8/10)
One of the most boring movies I have ever seen
One of the most boring movies I have ever seen. I saw it at the Sofia Film festival, and felt like I lost 2hours of my precious life. The movie was so desperately trying to be real that it actually got BORING. The act is poor, the camera is awful, the script is out of control. New plot lines appear all the time leaving the previous open topics unclosed (leaving the audience to decide for itself...woah! that is something we definitely have never seen?!?) I could hardly keep myself from drifting off. I think that movies like this give a bad name to the Balkan productions on the screen. Definitely not going to see another movie form this director!
