Synopsis
Èedo is a documentary film about Èedo Šaraba, a man the likes of whom we see daily in streets, parks and trams, collecting plastic bottles and scrounging money. Èedo is 45. He is homeless, alcoholic and drug addict with no legal income. His mother is a Croat and his father is a Montenegrin. Èedo's father was a machinist, but he never really worked: he was a bum, alcoholic and womanizer. Besides Èedo, he had at least five more children. He lost his life in a bizarre accident: while jumping off a train, he ran into a lamp post and died. At the time of his father's death, Èedo was 16 months old and his troubles were yet to begin. At the age of 12 he started to drink. At 16, he was diagnosed with alcoholism. Although a Catholic, baptized by Franciscan monks, he and his mother were harassed because of their family name in the 1990s. Èedo's first name was not very popular either. The 1990s also saw him becoming addicted to heroin. Èedo Šaraba and a few of his mates agreed to tell their life stories.
