Sarajevo, May 2021. The Old Town is trying to recover after a long and difficult pandemic year. The pandemic is not over yet, but – the summer is coming, there is hope that things can improve, even if only for a short time. When a woman from Zagreb enters Enis's shop one morning and says that she has come to eat ”the best ćevapi in Sarajevo” he sends her to Izo's shop, so that Izo can also enjoy the traditional pleasure of the first morning coffee after the first customer service. This totally harmless, friendly gesture brings about the complete disintegration of the neighbours' business and private life, engulfing not only Izo and Enis but the whole city. Where can one eat the best ćevapi in Sarajevo?
A light and well-flavoured comedy about friendship, people’s weaknesses, childish rivalry and grilled meat.
Long-time friends Iso and Enis are both owners of restaurants serving some of the best ćevapi in Sarajevo’s Old Town. Izo’s totally harmless, friendly gesture one day leads to a turmoil of events causing the complete disintegration of the neighbours' business and private life, engulfing not only Izo and Enis but the whole city. Where can one eat the best ćevapi in Sarajevo?
