This honest portrait of Dragoljub Đuričić, one of the best ex-Yugoslavian musicians, a drummer himself, reveals a story of the rock scene and its beginnings in Montenegro during the ‘60s and its development in the Balkan region during the ‘70s and ‘80s. Đuričič was a proud Montenegrin who was born in Cuce, a small village in Cetinje, but he spent his childhood and teenage years in Herceg Novi. After moving to Belgrade, Serbia, his career kicked off. He played with various bands in the region. For some years in Skopje, North Macedonia as the drummer of the famous rock band "Leb i sol”. As an innovative musician, Đuričić brought the drums to the centre, forming the very first Balkan percussion orchestra, The Balkan Avalanche. His fantastic performances and great energy made him a symbol of protests against the Milošević regime at the end of the 20th Century. A man of ideas and great energy left a legacy for many of his students and generations of drummers to come.
