"Tito and Me" is a 1992 Yugoslavian comedy film. The film was made during one of the most difficult periods in the history of the Balkans, at a time when conflict broke out and the civil war began in Socialistic Republic of Croatia. Its quirky humor has marked the beginning of the end of Socialistic Yugoslavia. The movie is set in the communist ruled Yugoslavia during the 1950s. It celebrates, but in some aspects it also criticizes The Yugoslav State in the early fifties. Zoran is a slightly overweight 10-year-old living in an overcrowded home that his parents share with his grandmother, aunt and uncle. So, conflicts at home are inevitable. This is a story of a ten year-old boy who, as most of the children in Yugoslavia of the fifties, can hardly imagine his everyday life without the great national leader - Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia. Well, this chubby little boy might be a little more obsessed with Tito than other kids. He unexpectedly wins the first price for the literary composition on the given topic "Do I love Tito, and why?" The boy was inspired to write a poem and his reward is the participation in a march to Tito's Homeland. He claims in his work that he loves Tito even more than his parents, which makes them desperate. He does not understand what is so confusing and weird in his love towards the inviolable Yugoslav leader. This march will be a difficult temptation for him. Since he is a plump kid, for the first time separated from his caring family, and since he is forced to care for himself for the first time in his life, and not being used for a long hike, this march becomes a living hell for him. In addition, during the march, his best girl-friend falls in love with another, older boy. And it seems his teacher (a man who is there march-leader) doesn't like him.
