This is a story about unreturned love. Alek is desperate because Teodora left him after a three-year relationship. He is suffering, but he doesn’t want to accept that the relationship is over. Despite his friend Bane’s advice, Alek keeps calling Teodora who has fallen in love with Nemanja, who is not in love with her but with Marina who is unfortunately in love with Alek. In the center of that circle is Bane, as the witness of all the emotional ups and downs, and the syndrome of “the best friend” is destroying him. While they live through their emotional problems, Bane sinks deeper and deeper into depression.

The Ambulance is a contemporary, but at the same time, historical film, reflecting the drama of the profound social changes in Serbian society at the turn of this century. The story, spanning from the collapse of the Milosevic regime in 2000 to the current waiting of the democratic state to enter to the European Union, is presented through every day challenges and personal destines of the ambulance service workers who are portrayed in three stories, set in three different periods but interconnected by their characters.
