Marko, a young director from Belgrade, wants more out of life than fifteen-minute quickie porn and sex with inflatable pigs. Thus the porno gang is born in worship of Eros, the god of lust, beauty, and intercourse, with no premonitions of the dangerous road ahead.
Marko’s cast of societal misfits including a fat and proud would-be manicurist, gay lovers dying of aids, and a washed up actress become the players in Belgrade’s first porn-theatre, marrying pure pornography with social and political issues. Due to bad press in the city as well as an influential porn director whom Marko has wronged, the group is run out of town and forced to tour in Serbian villages. Their celebration of sex takes a turn for the sinister when they are offered an opportunity to make snuff films. Out of desperation and Marko’s need to distinguish himself as a filmmaker, the group agrees to film suicides on the side for those who wish to end their life. With this decision they dig their own graves, and fall deeper into the dust of death and moral destruction from which they cannot and will not escape.
The Life and Death of a Porno Gang is truly unique road movie, which brings to light a number of social issues in Serbia, delving into the changes that occurred post Milosevic, whilst examining the differences between urban and rural life and the social outcasts of society.
