Spring in wartime. Each day a milkman crosses the frontline on a donkey, dodging bullets to bring his precious wares to the soldiers. Blessed with good fortune on his mission, loved by a beautiful villager, a peaceful future seems to await him… until the arrival of a mysterious Italian woman turns his life upside down. Thus begins a story of passionate, forbidden love that will plunge them both into a series of fantastic and dangerous adventures. They have been joined by fate, and nothing and no one seems able to stop them… Two-times Palme D'Or winner Emir Kusturica directs and stars in this story of love and war, rich in emotion, comedy and adventure.

两获金棕榈奖的前南斯拉夫电影导演、演员、音乐人 埃米尔·库斯图里卡——1954年出生于萨拉热窝，是世界上伟大的电影艺术家之一，他的人生正如他的电影：激烈、丰富、不羁，音乐无处不在。在这部回忆录中，他将个人经历与南斯拉夫——这个消失的国度、昔日的祖国——的历史交织在一起。从上世纪50年代他还是个住在萨拉热窝的塞尔维亚小孩开始讲起，回望摧毁祖国的那场战争，中间穿插了自己在电影创作中取得的成就、与约翰尼·德普的友谊以及对费里尼的仰慕之情……带着电影中同样的真诚与诗意，库斯图里卡向我们讲述了一切。
