From the director of the movie "Who's Singin' Over There?", comes another 1982 Serbian film that is equally funny and absurd! The Topalovic family, who are in the business of grave robbing - a family so large that six generations live together - has lost its oldest member, Pantelija, who has died despite being over 150 years old. The remaining five generations, a crafty bunch, are trying to keep their father's profession alive with various attractions. However, the youngest - and most naive - member of the family has fallen in love with the elderly daughter of a bandit named Billy Python and is driving his father crazy by dreaming of marrying her.
