Sunday (Serbo-Croatian: Nedjelja) is the debut feature film of Croatian film director Lordan Zafranović, premiering in 1969. Zafranović made a film while he was still a student. The plot follows a Sunday in life of a young man who wanders along streets of Split along with three friends, entering a range of bizarre situations, culminating in hijacking of a bus and standoff with police.
Sunday is based on Zafranović's eponymous short film from 1961. Zafranović wrote the screenplay with Živko Jeličić [hr] after an idea by Ranko Kursar. The cinematographer was Predrag "Pega" Popović, while the main role was assigned to Goran Marković, later a successful director, both Zafranović's friends from the Prague Film School. The main woman's role was given to Nada Abrus, a high-school student from Split. The film was recorded in 35 days during 1968. The director described the theme as a "clash between natures of a young revolting individual and the civilization as we know it". Sunday has a certain elements of youthful, modernist extravagance.
