The film is focusing on the entrepreneur Emerik Blum, who, starting in a devastated, rural country with a largely illiterate population, right after World War II, created a large and successful global company, Energoinvest, which operated worldwide with billions in profit. Taking advantage of Yugoslavia’s unique position between the East and the West, the company ran on a globally unique business model based on workers’ participation in both management and profit-sharing.

Damir Ibrahimović and Jasmila Žbanić produced the film through Deblokada.

The shortlist in the international film category will be unveiled on 16 December 2025, followed by the nominations on 22 January, and the 98th annual award of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on 15 March 2026.
