Zona Zamfirova (Serbian Cyrillic: Зона Замфирова) is a 2002 comedy-drama film directed by Zdravko Šotra. It is based on the 1906 book by Serbian author Stevan Sremac.[1] The film contains the local vernacular of the Serbian dialect spoken in the region of Niš.[1]

According to data from 2018, it is the most watched Serbian film ever, having been seen by a total of 1.2 million people in theatre release in Serbia.[2]

The house used for the set of Zona's house is located in Pirot, and was built in 1848 by the wealthy merchant Hrista Jovanović.[3] (see Old House, Pirot).

A sequel, Vrati se Zone, was released on January 24, 2017.[4]

Plot

Zona Zamfirova is set in the Serbian city of Niš in the 19th century. The plot follows the story of Zona Zamfirova (Katarina Radivojević), a local rich man's daughter, and the vicissitudes of her affair with Mane (Vojin Ćetković), an ordinary goldsmith. As it was undesirable for the daughter of a rich man to marry a craftsman, the two are at first divided, with the possibility of Zona marrying Manulać, who comes from a wealthy family. Everything is, however, changed as Mane organizes a successful conspiracy to keep Zona for himself.
