  The Story:

  Rooster’s Breakfast is a romantic comedy about people of a small town, who lead quiet, inconspicuous lives while harboring secret passions that come to change their lives in a dramatic way. Djuro works as an apprentice in a garage owned by the elderly Gajaš. His quiet existence gets unsettled by the arrival of a dark-haired beauty Bronja, who is married to a local scoundrel and pimp Lepec. Bronja and Djuro start a risky affair, which eventually gets disclosed. In the meantime, Gajaš fantasizes about Severina, a popular singer who comes to town on her tour. When an opportunity to meet her presents itself, Gajaš’ heart leaps for joy. The film is based on the novel by Feri Lainšček with the same title.
