The place of action: Dalmatian Zagorje, i.e. somewhere in the mountains, at the devil's horns. The main characters are an autocratic father and his four sons. They live like savages. They eat mamaliga every day, they don't know how to cook anything but it. They have their own laws, which everyone must obey, or else they'll use their fists. Intrigue: the eldest of the brothers, Kresimir, decides to marry, realizing that their community needs a female hand. Dialogues: bullying, on the verge of foul. Characters: distinctive, described so vividly that they will remain in the readers' memory for a long time, like characters from Kusturica's movies. Funny, recognizable, witty, warm.
