Short summary

It is a love story. When the twelve-breasted boar's sow farrows thirteen piglets, not having enough "sucking space" for the thirteenth, she rejects it and for the most part such piglets die. This drama from the world of animals paints the harshness of nature to the unwanted "thirteenth piglet", which we named Gile Baksuz (Gile Bad Luck). The rejected piglet is taken and given shelter by another species - a roe and her fawn. But there comes a calamity, a great flood strikes. Animals attempt to save themselves swimming towards a large sandbar. Among them are the roe, the fawn and poor piglet. Surrounded by water, the sandbar becomes an island of refugees. All sort of beasts are there, but the peril brings them together and no one attacks! The buck, having reached the security of the shore, leaves the shelter and sets out to find his female and fawn. Within reach of them he'll drown, entangled in branches. Waiting on the sandbar, gazing in the direction from which her "husband" may ...

    Even though this is filmed with practically non- existent budget it doesn't take from its quality. This documentary is beautifully made, and it has soul.

    The story itself is really wonderful and heartbreaking. It shows us how warm and beautiful nature can be but also shows its destructive power.

    Like humans experience hardships in life that also applies to animals in wilderness. This story takes place in an area around Danube river in Serbia. Story follows adventures of a little 13th piglet named Gile-'bad luck' who is abandoned since his mother cannot take care of him.

    Watching this is truly enjoyable and heartwarming experience and reminds us of just how beautiful life can be and that we need to appreciate it. I would recommend this to anyone but it's really hard to find it. Not to mention that it's in Serbian language and probably without any subtitles...

    Those who really want to check it out - can find it on YouTube, there are 2 documentaries. 1. Poslednja Oaza (1983) 2. Svet koji Nestaje (1987)

    Four years after the success of the documentary film "The Last Oasis", Petar Lalovic releases "The Vanishing World". The only copy that I managed to find has sound so damaged that it was torture to watch, but since it stayed in nice memory since I saw it the first and only time as a child, I simply had to see it again. In the first or second grade of elementary school, our teacher led us to the cinema to see this documentary, and I remember that many wept, making sure that no one would notice. Wild boar has twelve nipples and when it gives birth to thirteen piglets one remains without milk and most often dies. But not Gile. This natural documentary shows the world of wild animals in Baranja, but focuses primarily on Gile, the thirteenth piglet, and his adventures after he was rejected by his family. As much as his unexpected friendship with the small fawn is warm and gentle, that much cruelty of nature causes a cramp in the stomach. There's more death than in "Game of Thrones" and close-ups of corpses as in average slasher horror. Nevertheless, this is a love story and, although not as good as the "Last Oasis", I warmly recommend it.
