This is one of the best series that has appeared in Serbia during the past two decades. However, it has been so underestimated, misunderstood and surrounded by false perceptions of new generations alienated from their own origins. First of all, this script has nothing in common with another Serbian series dealing with living in a country that was being broadcast at the same time. The amount of money that was invested in "My cousin from the country" cannot compare with the latter series.Secondly, the image of a villager is quite different. They are not pictured as confused and unadapted persons, but clever and wise people, full of spirit, who fight to survive in harsh times. The dialogs are so deep and meaningful that i enjoyed in every word of that brilliant script. It is not an archaic story, it is story of ourselves how we used to be, a story of dying breed of people that founded this country and built it up. I was simply blown away by the marvelous performance of Tanasije Uzunovic.He plays his role as he was born in that village and live there for all of his life. Full of wisdom that only life experience can provide, he is a true head of the family, sometimes ironic in his wisdom, but with so much love and care for all his family and their happiness. Nebojsa Glogovac in the role of a local priest was also at his best. One of the deepest and the most emotional scenes in the series is the part when he fulfills the last wish of an old lady to sing her the song on youth at her dying bed. I want to believe that one day people would understand the messages from this series better.

Having all the episodes taped for me by my friend, I could not resist not to sit down and watch it in just one single day. Though it describes life in the village in central Serbia (BTW with breathless sceneries hard to find anywhere else in the world) storyline is very contemporary. If you have a chance it's a must to see. Vojin Cetkovic is again nailing his role of patriotic army officer. I guess this is the main reason why the other comment is extremely negative, but believe me it's baseless. This series is another proof that Serbian cinematography is the best in that part of the world. Beside this one, "Ranjeni Orao" and "Vratice se rode" are another MUST SEE series.

I must admit, when this series had first been aired, I've ignored it completely! That was absolutely at my loss, and what a loss it was!

Watching this now, is a very humbling experience. Not everyone can, or if could, be willing to gather up enough mental capacity to process this story. Below it's, very unpretentious surface, several life stories are told in a wonderful, yet still very deep manner.

These stories I have seen before. I know these people. They are real, and acting, ... don't be dumb, it's superb!

This series is like several of those pattern effect trick pictures folded in one. Most of people will see only a dull pattern, but those who do see a boat, or dog, or whatever, will forever enjoy it.

This series could actually serve as an IQ test! Your opinion about it says more about yourself!

Do watch. Best of luck.

This show is something that perfectly speaks about ordinary life of Serbian people. When you have everything but you have a feeling that something is missing there and in a try to make things better you ruin everything. Splendid acting and a lot of wise quotes from old generation.

Dragan Jovanovic is really amazing. I could not imagine , after watching him, that he was not originally born in this part of Serbia, he is perfectly chosen for that role. And most of the other actors are good. Some of them, like someone mentioned before,did not bother to speak with so good local accent like he did, but it did not spoil the impression. It is not a comedy, like it was classified, but drama, with occasionaly humorous dialogues. There are some actors which were not perfect , but leading actors, Drakce, his father,Milena and Vranic are really authentic. I do not like Ljubinka Klaric (Dunja) , there is not a passion between her and Vranic, they should have chosen some other actress (for ex. Sloboda Micalovic). At that time when it was on serbian tv , I refused to watch it, thinking it was a cheap serbian ,populistic,comedy, dedicated to fulfill sunday evenings on national tv, but now when i am watching it, 14 years later, i see i was wrong. I really enjoy. It is not Soprano familly or Breaking bad type of story, quality is not so good, but anyway , I give 10 .Very nice!
