Miljan's father, a retired Russian language and literature professor nostalgic for Yugoslavia, displays a piece of a 3,000 year old artifact that he found in the town. Kind and with a generous, warm spirit, he speaks of when the town was full of theaters, universities, and most importantly, jobs.
Miljan's father, a retired Russian language and literature professor nostalgic for Yugoslavia, displays a piece of a 3,000 year old artifact that he found in the town. Kind and with a generous, warm spirit, he speaks of when the town was full of theaters, universities, and most importantly, jobs. "Before the mine was privatized, there was more work. Now there are less jobs and money; the next generation many decide not to stay here to raise their families." He occasionally tries to convince Miljan unsuccessfully to stay in Pljevlja. Most of the days are spend tending the small, yet bountiful, farm surrounding his late mother's home.
