Socialism Meets Capitalism

The episode deals with the Haludovo hotel resort on the island of Krk. Today, it is an almost mythical place, shrouded in a thousand stories. We are introduced to its turbulent history, a time when Haludovo was a gambling mecca - a meeting point of world dictators and politicians, American weekend gamblers, Yugoslav celebrities, and ordinary citizens. Today, it is merely a nostalgic reminder of a bygone time when hedonism and egalitarianism briefly intersected. From its glory days to privatization and final decline, the entire story takes place in the short span of 40 years.
