The colour-blind are not so blind. They just see things differently. And they know that love is a miracle...

SynopsisJune 1991, the last day of peace in Yugoslavia...Ratko, a totally colour-blind Bosnian guy, steals a truck for a joyride.Suzana, a Belgrade city girl, discovers she is pregnant and decides to take off to Dubrovnik before her abortion term.He almost runs her over... and they end up travelling together.Ethnic war is imminent - but the colour-blind 'moron' and the hot-tempered city girl cannot distinguish the differences among the opposing groups. When they get deeper into trouble, she wants to go home - but it's too late: the 'moron' is in love with her.There is no way back - she has to discover that 'love is a miracle' and that 'colours mean nothing'...

Director's Statement A Balkan road-movie, set on the Last Day of ex-Yugoslvia, combines drama, comedy and romance in the form of an offbeat love story... A simple movie at a first glance. On a deeper level, colour-blindness as one of the "autistic" main character's features and his colour-blind "philosophy of life" are a metaphor and a mockery of the ethnic divisions which led to war. I believe that this deeply personal film offers an unusual and ironic view of serious issues. Srdjan Koljevic

FROM THE PRESS

"…And two other works of merit, both at Montreal in their world premieres: "Red-Coloured Grey Truck"… is the first Slovenian-Serbian co-pro-duction."Gerald Peary, Boston Phoenix

"Face-paced road-movie…a kind of wartime Serbian "Something Wild," suggesting brisk fest action and some art-house dates beyond home territories prior to lively ancillary… The brave and cocky script alternates nimbly between an eccentric love story and the terrors of armed insurrection…Tech credits are polished, led by fluid camera…"Eddie Cockrell, Variety

"Charismatic actor Srdjan Todorovic and Slovenian newcomer actressAleksandra Balmazovic created the key axis to this "Truck".Milan Vlajcic, Blic

"…an outstanding film… effective comedy with universal messages… Borislav Andjelic, Vecernje Novosti

"…as for the key film at the International Film Festival Mannheim Heidelberg,also the most entertaining, Srdjan Koljevic’s "Red Coloured Grey Truck" introduces a Belgrade director to keep an eye on."Ron Holloway, Kino
