Priest Ćira and Priest Spira is the first Yugoslav colour film, directed by the first female Serbian theatre and film director, Soja Jovanović. It won as many as seven awards at Pula FF, including the Golden Arena for Best Director. Soja Jovanović is still one of only two women to have won this award. Based on motifs from the eponymous humorous novel by Stevan Sremac, the film follows the residents of a quirky picturesque village. At the centre of the story are two priestly families who clash when young teacher Peter arrives in the village, because only one of them can get him as their son-in-law.
