Šilja and Sonja





Žarko Laušević, by far the most promising actor to come out of the Sivi dom young actors' pack. After his stunning performance as Šilja, he stole the hearts of producers and directors and collected the best roles.
How come then that we lost track of him?
In 1993, in Podgorica, at 33 years of age and drunk, Žarko Laušević fired a CZ-99 gun killing two people. Having spent several years in prison, he left for New York where he works on construction sites, eerily echoing Šilja's destiny.
Sve što želim u ovom trenutku...
The song is Sonja, an old Russian song of a murderer, imprisoned in Siberia, here performed by Tea Hodžić. The original track and the lyrics can be found here.

1985



An excerpt from Sivi dom, a cult series about a youth reform institution in Kruševac made by Television Belgrade (1985).
One is only one in this world, friendships are rare and harsh. Inmates, at their best, are stealing wallets while saving lifes.
I have my hands to be tied, I have my legs to run, I have my mouth to lie.
This is the ending scene of the series (episode 12). A large group of escaped inmates is caught and brought back. This is not the first time inmates sing this song (among others, they sang it on Silja's release).
At this time, Crni is dead, while Sojka, having killed Beli, is taken to an adult prison. At the very end of the scene, Matić and Savka are reunited.
