The film "Toma" is an impressionistic portrait of Toma Zdravkovic which explores both the very beginnings and his height of fame. It dives into relationships with the women he loved who inspired him to compose some of his greatest hits, as well as a huge number of friends he had in the artistic milieu of former Yugoslavia. In addition to Toma, the film will show lives of well-known artists of that time: Zoran Radmilovic, Mika Antic, Tozovac and others. "Toma" is a biographical film about Toma Zdravkovic, the man who is remembered not only for his songs and unique way he was singing them, but also as a bohemian, both in his behavior and his soul. The film follows two lines: 1991 -- the relationship between Toma and a doctor who starts Toma's treatment, and how it evolves into a friendship. The second line is about Toma's life: from childhood in Pechenjevci to a friendship with the singer Silvana Armenulic, that will have crucial effect to his career and private life, to the time when he reached undreamed of popularity, but also touched the bottom of life. This is a story of the soul.
