Synopsis:
This film consists of three separate stories loosely linked by a group of partisans who have found themselves in a house surrounded by the enemy. The first part tells the story of an escape from a concentration camp, the second is about a pair of funny and ingenious partisans, and the third is a lyrical story about love troubles and impossibility of an emotional relationship in the time of war. This is the last film by Marjanović, made as an omnibus (at the time a very popular form in international film). Opsada is the first Croatian film in which sound was recorded on a magnetic tape.

black and white, 115 min.
