 Beli lavovi(2011) on IMDb

Pressed by the dreams of a better and more just life. Overwhelmed by the experiences of students, pupils, workers, peasants and honest intelligentsia struggling to cope with the times of transition and an unnatural evolution of society, what’s more, the Serbian way, the main protagonist Dile, whose factory has gone bankrupt, decides to take things into his own hands.
Dile gives an impassioned, revolutionary speech and invites people to a revolution.
”Serbia is tired of bad news and something has to change. We have long lived in capitalism, only people have not yet been informed about it. That is why April is the time for us to start settling accounts. We humans are endangered species just like the white lions ”
Whether this is just a dream of a revolution, or a real call to take part in it, that is something you are going to find out in the tragicomedy The White Lions.
At the end of the film, Dile sings RADNIČKI REP(Workers’ rap) which contains all the answers.
