Do You Remember Dolly Bell? (1981) 15

Yugoslavia | 1981 | 106 min.

The fragile story of the emotional maturation of 16-year-old Dino, who is experiencing his first falling in love and is coping with his father's illness and death. All of this coincides with a convincing depiction of a peripheral quarter of Sarajevo in the early 1960s. A girl going by the name of Dolly Bell represents the world of love, as well as the world of disappointment and falsness.
