first was his portrait of a homeless wannabe revolutionary babi pupuška, in šijan's "kako sam sistematski uništen od idiota" ("how i got systematically destroyed by an idiot", (1983), a story about a man who embarks on a soul-searching journey after hearing the, for him at least, shattering news of che guevara's demise. building momentum from this film onward, stojković fused his father figure persona he honed in the 1970s with the marxist nut of babi pupuška, and delivered another bravura performance in goran paskaljević's elegiac "varljivo leto '68" ("the elusive summer of '68", 1984). stojković's character of a hardline marxist father, who cannot bear to witness the events of the 1968 unfold before his very own eyes, struck a chord with audiences.
