The Tough Ones (Serbo-Croatian: Delije, Serbian Cyrillic: Делије) is a 1968 Yugoslav feature film directed by Mića Popović. It belongs to the Yugoslav Black Wave movement,^[1] partly because of the modernist style (where black and white is mixed with color photography), but also because of the content that showed the dark side of communist Yugoslavia in its initial years.^[2]

The whirlwind of war has passed and left permanent deformations in the human psyche. After liberation, two brothers return to their village, which was burned and deserted. They show each other their Schmeissers with ammunition that they kept from the war as trophies. And they start a game of aimless shooting, they are joined by a German who was left behind in the rubble after the destruction of the village. In their craze, all three die during the shooting.^[3]
