Cabaret Balkan is a 1998 Serbian film directed by Goran Paskaljević starring Miki Manojlović and Nebojša Glogovac. Its original Serbian language title is Буре барута (Bure baruta) which means Powder Keg. It was released in English speaking countries under the title of Cabaret Balkan, with the official reason for the name change being that Kevin Costner had already registered a film project under the title Powder Keg. The film received a number of distinctions, including a FIPRESCI award at the Venice Film Festival in 1998. It was based on a play by the same title by Dejan Dukovski.

Baruta (pop. 317,288) in a municipality within the Greater Caracas Municipality in Venezuela. It is located geographically in the South-East section of the city. Its western limit is the Los Chaguaramos neighborhood (which belongs to the Libertador Municipality) and limits to the east with the Colinas de Los Ruices neighborhood, in the Sucre Municipality. To the North, it borders with the Francisco Fajardo Highway and to the Southeast with the El Hatillo Municipality and to the Southwest with the Hoyo de la Puerta neighborhood (Libertador Municipality).
Although some of the political functions overlap with the Greater Caracas Municipality, Baruta has its own Mayor, Gerardo Blyde. The local government has its own police force, among other responsibilities. The City Hall is currently located in the Bello Monte district, but there are plans for it to be moved to the old Baruta town.
The main economic activity in Baruta is non-manufacturing business in the many office buildings within the Municipality. For example, the Procter & Gamble Latin American Headquarters are located there. Commerce is also a great source of revenue for the Baruteños, as some of the most attractive night spots in the Greater Caracas are located in Las Mercedes district. The Baruta Zip Code is 1080 and the Area Code is 212, the same as the Greater Caracas area.
In Beograd, mid-1990s, 20 people's paths crisscross one night in rage and theater. A callow youth dents a car; its owner hunts him down and trashes his father's flat. Michael, back from abroad, hopes to reclaim Natalia; her new, younger lover seems outclassed. A Bosnian drives a bus to eke out subsistence; his son works the Black Market for a sadist. A cabby buys drinks for a cop he crippled in revenge. Swarthy friends at a gym confess betrayals of each other; violence erupts, then one menaces a woman on a train. Another young woman, traumatized when a knife-wielding youth commandeers her bus, calls for help and ends up with a gun at her head. It's a cabaret macabre.

Femmes qui aimez mieux le foutre que le pain
Qui prenez en foutant un plaisir souverain,
Qui faites de vos cons une source féconde
Qui crevez de dépit qu'on ne vous foute point
Laissez-vous foutre à moi, j'ai le vit en bon point,
Et vous direz que c'est le paradis du monde.
Je crois que tout foutait quand je fus engendré
Tant je suis en foutant chaudement agité,
D'une ardeur qui n'est point à tous fouteurs commune
Si j'approche d'un con je me sens échauffer,
Ni mari ni parent ne peuvent m'étonner,
Mon vit et mes couillons courent même fortune
Ô mourir agréable,ô trépas bien heureux !
S'il y a quelque-chose en ce monde d'heureux,
C'est un tombeau tout nu d'une cuisse yvoirine,
Les esprits vont au ciel d'un ravissement doux :
Si l'homme meurt dessus la femme meurt dessous
Mais une mort est peu pour chose si divine.
Ce sont mots inventés que parler de l'honneur,
Et dire qu'en foutant on n'a point de bonheur,
Et que celui qui fout à la vertu s'oppose.
Il n'est point d'autre honneur que de foutre très bien,
Car sans ce doux plaisir la vertu ne vaut rien :
Honneur, foutre et vertu, c'est une même chose.
Femmes qui aimez mieux le foutre que le pain
Qui prenez en foutant un plaisir souverain,
qui faites de vos cons une source féconde
Qui crevez de dépit qu'on ne vous foute point
Laissez-vous foutre à moi, j'ai le vit en bon point,
