Plot.

The Kosovo region of Yugoslavia near the Albanian border is the scene of political unrest and a modern Romeo and Juliet romance in this satirical political drama. A film director (Meto Jovanovski) gathers information for his documentary about the Serbs being forced to depart by Albanian Moslems. As the region heads towards ethnic warfare, the young Albanian woman Nadira (Sonja Jacevska) falls in love with the Serbian Miloljub (Cedo Arobabic). He is captured and castrated, and the private lives of Milobjub and Nadira become part of the director's story in his film. He must answer to the financiers and producers who believe his film was to be a comedy. The events foreshadow a long and bloody conflict between two factions, a battle that has not abated in the ten years since this film's initial release.

Wiki.

A Film with No Name (Serbo-Croatian: Za sada bez dobrog naslova, Serbian Cyrillic: За сада без доброг наслова) is a 1988 Yugoslav drama film directed by Srđan Karanović. It won Golden Tulip Award at the International Istanbul Film Festival in 1989.

In terms of genre, it is a blend of drama, mockumentary and dark comedy, and it was inspired by the escalation of the Serbian-Albanian conflict, specifically the dramatic deterioration of relations between the majority Albanian population and the minority Serbs in the then Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo.

The story simultaneously depicts the brutally interrupted love story between a Kosovo Serb and an Albanian girl, as well as attempts to make a feature film about it. A Film with No Name has been characterized by an unusual style and a large dose of irony, but it quickly fell into oblivion, which is attributed to the escalation of the political crisis in Yugoslavia and the anti-bureaucratic revolution, after which Karanović fell out of favor with Milošević's regime.
