Bartul Burt Marinkovich, a Croatian emigree-turned millionaire, dies and unexpectedly leaves his millions not to his beautiful young wife, Nicole, but to his heretofore unknown, illegitimate nephew, Bepo Stambuk, who is living in Bol on the island of Brac. This is Marinkovich's posthumous revenge on Nicole for his discovery that she has been having a long-standing affair with his personal secretary, Douglas Caine. A young lawyer of Croatian descent named Elisabeth Horvath is assigned to find Bepo and transfer his inheritance to him, but at the same time, Nicole and Caine hire two assassins to go to Brac and kill Marinkovich's heir. When Horvath and the two assassins arrive, they discover independently that there are three men in Bol named Bepo Stambuk, and must figure out which is the right one. Bepo Stambuk is a likeable tour guide and enterprising ladies' man on the charming island of Brac, off the coast of Croatia. Bepo's happy life revolves around two reciprocal relationships: his love of his island and his adoration of women. However, Bepo's easygoing routine life is about to be seriously interrupted. Back in the U.S., his father, a émigré he has never met, has died and left him a fortune. He has also left a very young, very greedy, and very adulterous widow. She has no intention of handing Bepo the money and dispatches hitmen to find and eliminate him. Also on her way to Brac is Elizabeth, the beautiful young attorney assigned to award Bepo the money. Not surprisingly, Elizabeth brings her own agenda and is eager to find the lucky heir for less than legal reasons. Good Croatian movie, trying to adjust American standards, makes a nice step to forwarding Croatian cinematography! It isn't high quality, but for small country production very advanced, so if for nothing else, deserved plus is for trying!<br/><br/>Good humor, not so good acting, plot- OK, but could be better.. People should like it because it is relaxing, and it offers you good laugh!<br/><br/>I would recommend it, just to see our beautiful country, to see Goran Visnjic, not in his best, but worth of seeing in company of beautiful girls and veterans of Croatian movie! =)<br/><br/>6.5/10 Mirena who wrote previous comment is probably 12 years old or she has really bad taste in movies. This movie is rather bad but it should be notice that it is one rare example of private investing in Croatian cinematography. In this county where only state funded directors are supposed to direct boring art movies it is quite nice to see somebody trying to do something different. The story is wick and you can see right through it. Acting looks like summer workshop where everybody just have lot of fun without care for final result. Only good thing that I can mention is photography because Croatian coast looks really astonishing. You might like this movie if you like Bud Spencer & Terennce Hill type of humor. Otherwise, go look somewhere else! Cheers!
