A biographical documentary about the greatest frontman of the ex-Yu punk-rock scene, a man who outgrew music and became a symbol of free thought and common sense.

The feature-length documentary ''Tusta'' brings us closer to the life of Branko Črnac Tusta, the frontman of the legendary punk-rock band KUD Idijoti from Pula. Through archival materials and interviews with guitarist Saša Milovanović Verud, bassist Nenad Marjanović Fric, drummer Diego Bosusco Ptic, and colleagues and contemporaries. 

The second act of this specific rock and roll story is dedicated to the limited activities of the band and the bans they experienced due to the war and the nationalist atmosphere in Croatia. With unshakable ideals and an uncompromising attitude, Tusta and KUD Idijoti were the first Croatian band to perform in Serbia after the break-up of the SFRJ. 

Finally, in the final segment of the film, director Andrej Korovljev focuses on the last years and the premature end of Tusta's life when we discover his lesser-known, intimate, human dimension without which he could not have gained such social significance.
