See You in Montevideo (Serbian: Монтевидео, видимо се!/Montevideo, vidimo se!) is a 2014 Serbian comedy film written and directed by Dragan Bjelogrlić. It is the sequel of 2010 film Montevideo, God Bless You! It was selected as the Serbian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.[1][2]

Plot

The film is based on the events surrounding the Kingdom of Yugoslavia men's national football team participation in the inaugural FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national association football teams that took place in the capital of Uruguay, Montevideo in 1930. After a lengthy trip over the Atlantic Ocean, the Yugoslav national team found themselves amongst 12 other nations, competing for the World Cup.

The Yugoslav team were the underdogs of the tournament and were given a minimal chance of succeeding after being drawn with the favorites of the tournament, Brazil. Thanks to the talent and dedication of the players, they defeated Bolivia and Brazil in their group stage and advanced to the knockout stage. The film ends with news spreading around the world that the Kingdom of Yugoslavia came third place in the tournament, and the team receiving a bronze medal.

Filming

See You in Montevideo was shot over a number of locations, Paraćin, Belgrade, Ulcinj, Trieste and also the Spanish Island of Tenerife.[3]
