What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Duško Maček and Rajko are described as brave but incompetent police inspectors investigating several connected crimes.
The plot combines a dead body, smuggled tablets, burned policemen's hands, and an ominous rabbit with a comedy-troupe sensibility.
The Montenegrin production and South Slavic-language setting frame the offbeat police cases within Balkan comic traditions.
The plot explicitly asks why an ominous rabbit repeatedly appears during the inspectors' inquiry.
