“The People Will Gild it All“, by Laza Lazarević, is one of the most signifcant works of the Serbian realism, which has lost none of its actuality for 150 years.

All the wars that our ancestors waged for freedom and sacrifced their future for the sake of the country and the possibility that we, their descendants, exist, have posed the questions from generation to generation:
Does the sacrifce make sense, when the state apparatus does not respect it?
Does the sacrifce make sense, when it falls into oblivion so easily?
The brilliant cast tries to answer these questions in a touching way, without excessive pathos.
