Film takes place in the hotel somewhere in ex-Yugoslav republic Croatia just before the dissolution of SFR Yugoslovia in 1991. The group of domestic tourists come to "Lake" hotel. They are the competitors in the grand finale of well known contest for the bravest/most human Yugoslav of the year. They enjoy life so much that they can not see that civil war starts around. Those contesters represent metaphorically the ordinary Yugoslav citizens (intellectual, soldier, fireman, housewife etc.) who were unaware that their country will collapse soon. Also, Hotel "Lake" metaphorically represents that unfortunate country - it is nice from far, but far from nice. A modern building but everything in it is worn-out So, in this film you can find suspense, Hickokian direction, black humor, gun shooting, well shaped characters etc. If you liked the Serbian movies like "Pretty Village, Pretty Flame" or "Underground" you would like this also but contrary S.O.S. is low-budget movie! Raiting 7* of 10.
