Cast
Production
The film was shot during the spring and summer of 1978 in Belgrade. It was the first screenplay in the film career of Goran Marković. It came after "Specijalno vaspitanje" (Special Education). In real life, there was no Floyd, but there was a Foyt. That was the nickname of director Branko Baletić, Goran Marković's best friend, who himself participated in rallies before the filming of the movie. Through his character, the fate of the generation to which both of them belong is depicted. To achieve authenticity and credibility in the racing environment, the film actively involved prominent figures from the world of racing.
