Blagajnica hoce ici na more

This is a charming tale of a supermarket cashier with a sick daughter; and the revenge she takes on her boss when he cancels her planned holiday to the seaside. I loved the droll humour, and there are a lot of funny situations in what is a dramatic tale. The superb acting of the whole cast helps -- no Hollywood faces or teeth here! The fact that it is a simple story so well told speaks volumes for the competence of the European film community. 9/10 for me.
