- Aircrafts, tanks, bombs, automatic rifles, media and propaganda were the Homeland War weaponry of choice. Nevertheless, the loudest were the songs. Ones used them to describe the nightmares that befell them, others to confirm their political loyalty. The national TV broadcaster considered music an important form of political 'fight', so they commissioned, financed, recorded and intensely broadcasted it. Even twenty years after the end of the Homeland War, its soundtrack still attracts attention and sparks emotions. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, patriotic music played an extremely important role in the political changes occurring in all the former Yugoslavian countries, especially in Croatia. In the first multi-party election after the Second World War, the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) beat the reformed communists with a great help from music, which in 1990 took an active part in boosting the national spirit. The system changed - from a unitary, socialist Yugoslavia to an independent and democratic Croatia - but the structure of music serving political goals remained the same. Open aggression in Croatia in the autumn of 1991 sparked an impulse response from musicians like never before - from fiddlers and tambura players, to pop singers, to dance musicians, to rockers and punkers. The national broadcaster, Croatian Radio Television (HRT), became their most powerful sponsor - it commissioned new patriotic songs, broadcasted the existing ones, organised and funded countless patriotic music festivals and charity concerts, enabled many patriotic music videos to be recorded. Only in the first few, the most intense months of war, several hundred new songs were recorded. Their final number still remains unknown. However, many of them have not survived the war, and the story of them is still unfinished and untold. With appearances by: Zrinko Tutic, Vera Svoboda, Josip Ivankovic, Mladen Kvesic, Davor Gobac, Boytronic, Sandra Kulier, Mario Peso, Borut Separovic, Miroslav Lilic, Ante Perkovic and many others.

- Behind the Looking Glass is a self-portrait made by combining a series of film clips dating back from 1965 to the present-day (showing how other people perceive the author) and introspectively made video footage of the author, made over the past decade.

- The story of the Croatian writer, journalist and columnist Zeljko Spoljar and his alter-ego Pavle Svirac, who, in turn, writes under the pseudonym - Literary Groupie.
- With his film Generation '68, the author makes a homage to the generation with which he shares his youthful enthusiasm and the idea about a revolution that will change the world, while being "realistic and demanding the impossible". At the same time he questions the true impact of these changes on social and - probably more important - private level. Having ideas is easy; making them look credible to the generations that follow is somewhat more difficult. By rejecting the ideals of the 1968 as unworkable, the new generations are coming up with some of their own, maybe even more unrealistic ones...
