   #1 - Socialism Meets Capitalism

   S1:E15/30/2016

   The episode deals with the Haludovo hotel resort on the island of Krk. Today, it is an almost mythical place, shrouded in a thousand stories. We are introduced to its turbulent history, a time when Haludovo was a gambling mecca - a meeting point of world dictators and politicians, American weekend gamblers, Yugoslav celebrities, and ordinary citizens. Today, it is merely a nostalgic reminder of a bygone time when hedonism and egalitarianism briefly intersected. From its glory days to privatization and final decline, the entire story takes place in the short span of 40 years.

   #3 - Mysterious Object in the Pine Forest

   S1:E36/1/2016

   We explore the possibilities of revitalising a mysterious building of unusual beauty in the small town of Krvavica, near Makarska. The building cannot be found in any urban development plans nor land registers; it was built by the Yugoslav People's Army as a place to treat children suffering from pulmonary diseases. At the initiative of architects, it was granted the permanent status of a protected monument, which was resisted by the local authorities. Today it stands abandoned, dilapidated, and looted, while the State Property Management Office is still at a loss what to do with this priceless building.

   #4 - Megastructures

   S1:E46/2/2016

   We deal with the phenomenon of mass tourism and mega-structures, huge city-like buildings whose accommodation capacities often surpassed the population count of the historic settlements where they were built. The designs of these hotels teach us about the ideas of modernism, planned development of the Adriatic coast, and the ways of achieving balance between economic growth and the preservation of existing values, between mass tourism and the lives of local residents.
