This movie reflects the history of Yugoslavia since the beginning of WWII (and similar to all ex-communist countries) to the last horrible events in Balcanian countries. Behind the comedy is hidden the pain of whole generations, which have suffered WWII, The Cold War, the war in Yugoslavia, the communism, the treachery of their own leadership, the fall. The film shows us the reality, as seen by those who feel unlimited love for their country and culture. Marko and Blacky represent the true leaders of the country, the soul of the nation and not without controversies. Once Upon A Time There Was A Country is an extended TV version of Emir Kusturica's Palme d'Or winning Underground.

Rainer Werner Fassbinder gehört zu den bedeutendsten deutschen Filmschaffenden der Nachkriegszeit. Mit Filmen wie "Welt am Draht", "Angst essen Seele auf" und "Die Ehe der Maria Braun", die ihm auch international Anerkennung und Auszeichnungen wie den Adolf-Grimme-Preis, den Fipresci-Preis der Filmfestspiele von Cannes und den Silbernen Bären der Berlinale verschafften, gehört er zu den wichtigsten Vertretern des so genannten Neuen Deutschen Films der 1970er und 80er Jahre. Noch während der Arbeiten an seinem letzten Projekt "Querelle" starb Fassbinder 1982 mit nur 37 Jahren an einem Herzstillstand, der vermutlich auf Überarbeitung und gleichzeitigen Konsum von Kokain, Schlaftabletten und Alkohol zurückzuführen war. Im Mai 2015 wäre der Regisseur 70 Jahre alt geworden. Die Filmemacherin Annekatrin Hendel widmet sich in ihrer Dokumentation "Die Fassbinder Story" dem Leben und Schaffen des Künstlers.
