This documentary was inspired by the artistic life of Serbian actress Sonja Savić. Being a wonder child, a star of Yugoslavian cinematography, a sex symbol, and urban legend of the eighties generation, a fighter against establishment, Sonja Savić had always attracted attention. Simply put, she always looked, spoke and thought differently from others, she was entirely autonomous, an authentic phenomenon of Serbian culture. In the documentary SONJA, friends and colleagues of Sonja Savić testify on many aspects of her life and work, and a special emphasis is put on Sonja’s libertarian, rebellious, Don Quixote type of nature.

By definition, punk is a subculture, alternative culture and youth culture based on the interaction of cultural elements different from the elements of popular culture and other sub-genres.It has its own distinctive music, ideology, dress code, visual identity, dance, literature and film. Punks are mostly young people with a different opinion, who in common have the spirit of anti-establishment and non-recognition of the canon. As a musical direction, it existed in full swing in the 70s and 80s of the last century, exerting an influence on the rock scene of that time. How did appear in ex-Yugoslavia?
