Author: Ana Banić-Grubišić

''"The first common characteristic is that in all these films such love occurs between the former strangers, the survivors who were not even until the beginning of their love affair knew. In the film "America 3000", after the apocalypse, a new social order is formed - men and women form two strictly separate worlds, namely, in the post-apocalyptic world power is in the hands of women and men are their slaves. The connection between Queen Vina and the fugitive slave of Corvis, the film's narrator presents us as "the first romance of the millennium." When Vina and Corvis meet for the first time, Corvis tells her that he brought her to “talk about men and women”. Vina asks him "what is a man?" And Corvis shows her to touch his body and he replies, "I am a man. Touch the meat. Just like Venino.” Their hasty "meeting” ends with kissing and not long after sexual intercourse."''
