Beautiful People is a 2000 comedy film directed by Jasmin Dizdar. It is set in London during the time of the Bosnian war.
Essentially a black comedy, the plot revolves around six stories that are usually separate, but which occasionally intersect.
In London, during October 1993, England is playing the Netherlands in the preliminaries of the World Cup. The Bosnian War is at its height, and refugees from the ex-Yugoslavia are arriving. Football rivals, and political adversaries from the Balkans all precipitate conflict and amusing situations. Meanwhile, the lives of four English families are affected in different ways by encounter with the refugees; one of the families improbably becomes involved with a Balkan refugee through the England vs. Holland match.
The film won the Un Certain Regard Prize at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival.
