Plot summary
Radovan Orlak, known to his friends as Orao (Eagle), fell to his death off a high-rise building on his birthday. Upon hearing the news, four of his long-time friends - Milan, Draen, Kreo and Vlado - realize how little they actually knew about him and begin to investigate in the hopes of uncovering what really happened. They assume their friend has committed suicide, and begin to exact revenge on people whom they deem responsible. After a while, they find out that Orao was seen with an unidentified man on the night of his death, and begin to suspect he was actually murdered...[http://hrfilm.hr/baza_film.php?id=143 'Orao'] at hrfilm.hr
Release and reception
Shortly after the film was completed, Marjan Film went bankrupt, which was followed by the outbreak of Yugoslav Wars. As a result, the film was never distributed theatrically.
While Croatian Film Association's database assessed 'Eagle' as Tadi's weakest film to date, Croatian film critic Nenad Polimac listed it in his 2007 selection of "lost classics" of Croatian cinema.
