Story
The Film tells The Story of Zoran Predin's youth in delavska Maribor, the immense fame and popularity he achieved in Yugoslavia with the group hungry Franz and his noble solo career with numerous hits that have become classics of our popular music. His best-known songs in the film reflect significant social changes of the time, as well as personal turning points from his life.
This intimate portrait not only shows the good times – the camera does not take its eyes off even when it gets dark, but keeps watching how all this also affects his friends and family.
Author's statement
"The first Zoran song I heard was let the kiss draw your lips. As a native of Sarajevo, I understood no more than the chorus, but I felt so strongly this brutal rhythm and the unusual melodiousness of Zoran's velvet voice that I immediately fell in love with it. I will quote the writer Miljenko Jergovi / Jergovi / Jergovi / Jergovi / who appeared in our film and said that one of the essential truths is that no one in the history of the Slovenian language has influenced so much that it has spread across five or six countries. A lot of people started learning Slovene precisely because of Zoran Predin. To understand his lyrics. This is still happening today.”

Zgodba
Film pripoveduje zgodbo o mladosti Zorana Predina v delavskem Mariboru, neizmerni slavi in priljubljenosti, ki jo je v Jugoslaviji dosegel s skupino Lačni Franz in njegovi žlahtni solistični karieri s številnimi uspešnicami, ki so postale klasike naše popularne glasbe. Njegove najbolj znane pesmi v filmu odsevajo pomembne družbene spremembe tega časa, pa tudi osebne prelomnice iz njegovega življenja.
Ta intimni portret ne prikazuje samo dobrih časov – kamera ne umakne pogleda niti takrat, ko se stemni, ampak naprej opazuje, kako vse to vpliva tudi na njegove prijatelje in družino.
Izjava avtorja
“Prva Zoranova pesem, ki sem jo slišal, je bila Naj ti poljub nariše ustnice. Kot rojen Sarajevčan nisem razumel več od refrena, ampak sem tako močno začutil ta brutalni ritem in nenavadno melodičnost Zoranovega žametnega glasu, da sem ga takoj vzljubil. Citiral bom pisatelja Miljenka Jergovića, ki je nastopil v našem filmu in rekel, da je ena od bistvenih resnic, da nihče v zgodovini slovenskega jezika ni tako močno vplival na to, da se je ta razširil po petih ali šestih državah. Ogromno ljudi se je začelo učiti slovenščine prav zaradi Zorana Predina. Da bi razumeli njegova besedila. To se dogaja še danes.”
