Plot summary
Ilija Čvorović (Bata Stojković), a former Stalinist, is contacted by the police to routinely answer questions about his sub-tenant, a businessman, who spent twenty years living in Paris, and now has returned to Belgrade to open a tailor shop. Following the interview, Čvorović is convinced that his sub-tenant represents a great threat to national security and decides to take matters into his own hands, thus beginning his own surveillance operation against the innocent man. The arrival of a modern man from a capitalist country has clearly provoked Čvorović, who perceives his sub-tenant as a threat to the socialist system. He convinces his wife that their sub-tenant is a spy and begins stalking him, his paranoia growing with each passing day. Eventually, he bars his house, buys a guard dog, arms himself with munition, and even gets help from his brother, both of them becoming convinced that capitalist assassins are after them.
