Električni orgazam is one of the most influential and long-lived rock’n’roll bands formed in Yugoslavia and Serbia. Appearing at the time of the new wave, they played a critical role in creating an authentic local urban rock sound with a specific poetic critical social edge. They turned to more glam aesthetics during the eighties, making big hits, many still popular today, and Igra rokenrol cela Jugoslavija became a classic. In the times of disintegration of the former country, they stand out with anti-war activism (project Rimtutituki). After 2000, ageing with more than grace, Električni orgazam continues to develop, passing on to the young generations their unique insight about rock and roll as their life experience. The history of this band is, in effect, the history of rock culture in our region.
The film uses rare documentary footage and music tracks mostly recorded and preserved in the RTS Program Archive.
