A dark comedy classic of Yugoslav cinema. It follows the eccentric Topalović family of five generations of males, from 25 to 120 years old, who have run a funeral home for decades. Conflict arises when the youngest refuses to continue the mortician’s trade, supported by his girlfriend Kristina and his best friend. When Kristina’s father, a coffin supplier, demands a larger share of the earnings, the two families clash. Known for its satirical take on life and death, the film stars Bogdan Diklić, Danilo Bata Stojković, and Pavle Vuisić. It was a critical success, winning several awards at the Pula Film Festival, including the Golden Arena. Renowned for its sharp humour and unforgettable characters, The Marathon Family remains a beloved gem in Balkan film history.
