Plot
In 1970 Yugoslavia, inmates at the Livada prison led by an inmate named Keber convince reluctant prison guards to let them watch a televised game of the 1970 FIBA World Championship between Yugoslavia and the United States. However, taunting guards interrupt the viewing and provoke the prisoners to the point of rioting. After a period of a kind of blissful anarchy where the inmates taste freedom, Keber enlists the house "intellectual" Mrak to devise a system of prisoner self-government aimed at forcing reforms upon the state.

Reception
The film was selected as a Slovenian submission to the 75th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film, but did not get nominated.
