Dear Video is a black epistolary comedy which stars some of the finest actors from the former Yugoslavia.

Through the home video 'letters' sent back and forth, petty jealousies, love liaisons and financial squabbles drive the family to the brink of war, a situation that reflects the collapsing state of affairs in what was then Yugoslavia.
