A story about the youngest revolution hero, a pioneer, Partisan Bosko Buha, born in Virovitica. The childhood of his generation was abruptly cut short by war, forcing him and his friends to mature early. Fighting side by side with the grown-ups, during their time off from war fighting, an instinct to play, child’s curiosity, and the sparks of first love would perk up.
Branko Bauer (1921–2002) is one of the most prolific and popular directors of the former Yugoslavia. His understanding of directing was very close to Hollywood dramaturgy so he enjoyed popularity of both the audience and the critics. His debut film The Blue Seagull announced his talents and his following film Millions on the Island demonstrated his high competency in the children’s film genre, the genre that he will come back to in the final phase of his work with the films Wintering in Jakobsfeld and A Farm in Mali Rit (like in the series A Farm in Mali Rit), and in his last film Bosko Buha. We should also mention his feature films Don’t Look Back, My Son (one of the most important films tackling the topic of the People’s Liberation Struggle and World War II, winner of three Golden Arenas), Three Girls Named Anna, Face to Face (Golden Arena for Best Director), and the popular comedy Martin in the Clouds.
