"The wind got up in the night and took our plans away," reads the proverb in the opening title of Museum of the Revolution. The words are an allusion to the 1961 plan to build a large museum in Belgrade as a tribute to socialist Yugoslavia. The museum was to preserve "the truth" about the Yugoslav people, but the plan never got beyond the construction of the basement. The dilapidated building today tells a very different story than the one the initiators envisioned 60 years ago. In the damp, pitch-black space live the outcasts of a society transformed by capitalism. The film follows a young girl who earns money on the street by cleaning car windows with her mother. The girl has a close friendship with an old woman who also lives in the basement. Against the backdrop of a changing city, the three women find refuge with each other.
