All who have benefited from verprenzlten Balkan Beat parties or the hip Russian disco in Berlin would be enough, the five-year-old Rockumentary Sretno Dijet (eng. title Happy Child , German Happy childhood ) of the Croatian music journalists Igor Mirkovic recommended that one for a few days now and finally can also look in your tube (comfortable with English subtitles):
Der Titel bezieht sich auf den Song von gleichnamigen Mika (frei übersetzt "Schmierenkomödie):
I grew up with war movies Color
with frequent fights at school
with folk songs full of pain I'm
svarno happy child ...
Ich bin mit aufgewachsen
Kriegsfilmen
in Farbe mit 'ner Menge Schlägereien in der Schule mit
Volksliedern
voller Leid Ich bin wirklich ein Kind glückliches ...
So gesehen ist der Film not just a documentary about the Novi Val , the "new wave" in Yugoslavia, by the way, a lot rocked more than, say, its the mainstream of the first-born gas-I-will-fun counterpart from Germany, but also historical document about Befindlichdlichkeiten of land and (young) people of a state which no longer exists, as this review imdb to a point:
Nostalgic, musical documentary about youth cultural trends in late 70's / early 80's Yugoslavia , 2 May 2006
Yugoslavia does not exist anymore. But the music from the partly repressed, partly happy times (late 70's and early 80's) still exists, and time has been very kind to it. And the people who made that music are now older, one foot in present, another in the past, some wiser, some changed. They are now scattered all over the world. This movie brings most of them back together, and realizes that the crucial piece of puzzle is now damaged, a ghost, but life, imperfect, goes on. It also brings back the feel of Zagreb (ahh, that attitude!), and to some extent Belgrade (ohh, more attitude!), of those times, their culture, dialects, language, teenage angst (Communist repressions vs. punk and
alternative), a bit of an isolated, naive, even arrogant idealism, and a lot of self-confidence and passion to change the world for the better.
It is a wonderful trip back. Everyone in ex-Yu lands should watch it. It brings back the state of mind that most people had in early 80's - the one just preceding the late 80's disbelief and denial that the advertised civil war could happen ever, ever really.
The released on a double-CD soundtrack works like an anthology of the punk / New Wave scene in the former Yugoslavia around 1980.

That the Novi Val also over the Balkans also suggested quite political waves , demonstrates the tribute album Yugoton , which paid tribute to the influence of the Yugoslav Punk / New Wave bands on the then-music scene in Poland (Polish) covers.
