Y? is a road-trip documentary shot in 2019 during the journey from Kragujevac (Serbia) to Mercer (Pennsylvania, USA) with a Yugo coral 55. Our four-member team took the Yugo – a catalyst of myths and facts within a specific time and space – for a ride into a contemporary context. The main topic of the movie is the Yugoslavian “business of the century”: the export of the Yugo to the United States. However, the Yugo spiraled downward in a relatively short time in the US, as it went from being a best selling hit to an object of ridicule and metaphor for poor quality. At the other end of the world, in former Yugoslavian countries, this peak achievement of Yugoslavian industry has become a symbol of a sentimental, socialist past and a trigger for individual and collective memories. Today, everyone has their own view of this unique phenomenon that, regardless of the facts, nevertheless provokes smiles and comments. (Source: project team)
