Cannes Film Festival YearResultAwardCategoryRecipient(s) 1980 Won Best Supporting Actress Milena Dravic Tied with Carla Gravina and Terrazza, La (1980). Nominated Golden Palm Goran Paskaljevic Golden Globes, USA YearResultAwardCategoryRecipient(s) 1981 Nominated Golden Globe Best Foreign Film Brushed with shadings of a larger social and political commentary, this occasionally hilarious and consistently funny comedy looks at a closet alcoholic, Dr. Ilich (Ljuba Tadic) who treats alcoholism in others with an iron hand and a zany therapeutical approach. Between the music of Wagner, a diet in which apples figure prominently, and exercises that look like Chicken Little in take-off mode, the doctor is convinced his patients will be cured. What really ails most of them is what caused their alcohol problem in the first place -- so when the eccentric doctor takes six of his patients to a nearby brewery to demonstrate the success of his treatment, chaos results. First the apples taken on the trip are spiked by one patient (two of them clink their apples in joy) and then the brewery management and its own alcohol-addicted crew add to the patients' antics.
