Her pretty face was actually made up of the “best features” of six other members: her eyes, nose, mouth, hair/body, face outline and eyebrows were not flesh-and-blood, but cut-and-paste. “

ABU DHABI 2011
From Beno Saradzic ” Do yourself a favour and watch this film with high quality speakers because the music Vlad composed truly deserves to be heard in all of its glory. Hook your computer to multi-media speakers, home stereo, TV or headphones but DO NOT, for the sake of all that is holy, listen to the sound on the laptop’s crappy built-in speaker or just as unforgivably; muted!! This version features original score by Vladimir Persan and it is simply PHENOMENAL. Hats off to you my friend! ”
