In this award winning musical docu-comedy, Peca, an accordion player, has decided to marry all the single men in his small village. In his own words, "I'm going to marry the whole village, even if I regret it." Peca is a modern Don Quixote. On this naive journey of matrimony and self-discovery, he sets out to bring happiness to his little town and hopefully find a little love for himself along the way. This documentary fairy tale features an incredible personal story, filled with an unrestrained optimism.

„In the best Balkan storyteller tradition the director mixes reality and fiction and does it in a way that goes directly to the viewers' heart. (…) Feeling down? Watch Zeljko's film and you'll feel a lot better.“ Paul Pauwels, Belgium, general manager of ETMA and producer

"A witty, poignant story with vibrant characters and universal appeal."
Richard Wolf, USA, Lobodocs – director/ producer

„Sweet/sad story with a moving/tender main character Peca. We'll done“
Jordi Ambros, Commissioning Editor ,TV3, Catalunya, Spain
