Synopsis

Bosnia, 1955. Atif, son of a miner, finds out, that he will be the face of the most valuable banknote across the country, the 1000 dinar bill. Nobody really knows why or how. He is invited to Belgrade, where he also meets  the head of  state, Josip Broz Tito.After returning to his town, he seems to be a famous man. He gets a good job, enjoys  the newly acquired privileges and everything seems fine. But then he falls in love with a prostitute, a young woman who literally is always in trouble and who gets called "Thousand" - a synoym for her most expensive service.Atif resigns from his job and lives a slovenly life.  But what really rankles him: he wants his girlfriend to be socially recognised as well. Suddenly, Tito announces his visit.Thousand is a really funny comedy about communism and the labor movement, as well as about  human rights and class differences. Although the topic seems to be old and not relevant , it is still up to date.The film has the makings of a blockbuster with an excellent ensembe and a great script. Some things definitely represent the local humor, but at least Bosnians won´t mind .
