All-Serbian elder

As it turns out, a year ago, he even became the headman of the temple in the village built according to his design on Mokra Gora. Kusturica was born in Sarajevo into a family of Muslim Serbs who converted to Islam during Turkish rule. But he always, by his own admission, felt his connection with Serbian culture. Now the relationship with her and, moreover, with God, is formalized, so to speak, officially. It’s good that Kusturica shares the responsibilities of the headman with his wife Maya, otherwise world cinema could lose one of the most famous directors.
