Gde cveta limun žut ( Orig. Title ) Documentary 1 h 38 Min 2006
In the second half of the First World War, at the end of 1915, after the attack of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the small Kingdom of Serbia, the Serbian people, army and state found themselves in the greatest challenge in their entire history.

After two prevented attacks by an enormous Austro-Hungarian force, with glorious battles - The Battle of Cer and Battle of Kolubara, powerful armies of the empires of Austro-Hungary, Germany and Bulgaria set out for Serbia.

Considering that any future struggle then became impossible, the Serbian Government and the Supreme Command, in order to avoid capitulation, decided on an epochal undertaking, that the Serbian army and with them the escaped citizens leave their country and go in several directions, in the coldest winter, to retreat across the impassable gorges of Albania towards the Adriatic Sea to meet the allies. It was an incredibly brave rescue of the national part, magnificent in its endeavors, but terrible for a large number of victims. The worst in World War. When they arrived in Corfu and met with the allies, the Serbs described their suffering in the song "Far Away".
