Three For Happiness is a story of a man, driven by poverty and despair, who robs a shop with a plastic toy gun. After three years in prison he is released. On his way through Zagreb he meets two completely different women who are about to determine his fate. This marks the beginning of a contemporary melodrama about three love triangles entangled by emotions and money. It is a story of a fanatic who attempts to break loose from the inevitability of one’s life and times through love.

Premiered and awarded by European film critics with "FIPRESCI", "Grand Prix" and the "Peter Karsten" award for Best Script at Valencia Film Festival, Spain. It also won the "Grand Prix" at the Sallso Film Festival in Italy, and many awards from Yugoslavian film festivals. The film was distributed in 14 countries.
