About the book: 1997 / The action of the "Belgrade Trilogy" takes place in the Czech Republic, Australia and Los Angeles. Almost all the heroes are emigrants from Serbia. Several private stories that unfold on New Year's Eve in different hemispheres should illustrate how bad it is to live far from your homeland. Regardless of whether the characters in the play need a foreign land or are fully provided with an apartment, work and family, they feel extremely uncomfortable in emigration. Outwardly, no tragedies seem to occur. Brothers Kicha and Micha Jovic, who live in Prague, are going to earn money for food by winning a competition for the best performance of the mamba. Two married couples settled in Sydney, habitually quarreling and habitually cheating on each other, are going to celebrate the New Year together. And two young people, who by the will of fate found themselves in America, meet at one of the parties on New Year's Eve. The problems of the characters associated with their emigrant status are, according to the play, more of a psychological than social nature and appear gradually. It turns out that one of the Jovic brothers refuses to date women, sighing for the girl left behind in Belgrade, who ultimately cannot stand long-distance love and gets married. Dhule, who moved to Sydney, experiences sexual problems due to a pathological fear of a foreign country. Young Serbian Americans Mara and Jovan bury their theatrical and musical ambitions and are forced to work for rich Americans. In Biljana Srbljanovic's play, Slobodan Milosevic and the older generation of Yugoslavs, who voted for him and deprived young people of the opportunity to live normally in their country, are to blame for all these misfortunes.
