| 1 | 5th April 1941, somewhere in Serbia. Several passengers take the Krstić & Son bus to Belgrade: A consumptive, a wannabe singer, a Germanophile who may or may not be a spy, a hunter, a veteran of the first world war, two Gypsy musicians and a newly-wed couple. The trip turns out to be rather eventful: While on their way, they encounter an army road block, a farmer who has ploughed the road as if it was a field, a funeral, a lack of suitable bridges, an army detail and more, only to arrive in Belgrade in the morning of the 6th of April... |

| 3 | ''Who's singing' over there'' (''Ko to tamo peva''/''Ко то тамо пева'' in Serbian) is a famous 1980's Yugoslavian comedy about the bus trip described above. It plays out as a road movie, taking hints from ''Film/StageCoach'' and similar movies. |

| 7 | * [[TheAllegedCar The Alledged Bus]]: The bus is not exactly the most trustworthy vehicle - it's already obviously beat up at the start of the movie, and over time, it loses one tire and gets a hole in the roof courtesy of the Hunter. |
| 8 | * ArtisticLicenseGunSafety: [[invoked]] The Hunter shows surprisingly little concern over taking a loaded rifle onto a bus. Late in the movie, that earns the bus a new hole in the root, and the hunter a long walk to his destination. |
| 9 | * BadassDriver: Miško Krstić can drive the bus backwards while blindfolded for several hundred meters, and apparently, he does this a lot. |
| 10 | * TheCasanova: The singer constantly flirts with the bride, and offers her to stay with him towards the end of the movie. The husband apparently doesn't notice. |
| 11 | * DownerEnding: The movie ends on the 6th of May 1941 in Belgrade. Coincidentially, this is the date when the Luftwaffe bombed Belgrade during the invasion of Yugoslavia during UsefulNotes/WorldWar2. [[spoiler: Of course, the bus is caught in the attack, and only the Gypsy musicians survive.]] |
| 12 | * GreekChorus: The Gypsy musicians, quite literally: Several times throughout the movie, the two of them break into a sad song about the state of the world, commenting the events of the movie so far. |
| 13 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Most characters are only known by their description (the Singer, the Hunter, the Bride et cetera). Not very surprising, since they all meet on a bus and don't known each other. |
| 14 | * RoadTripPlot: The plot can be summarized as "People take a bus to Belgrade. Stuff happens". |
