Vruć vetar (Serbian Cyrillic: Врућ ветар, English: Hot Wind) is one of the most popular Yugoslav TV series that aired in 1980. The show and movie cut from scenes of the show (Avanture Borivoja Šurdilovića (Serbian Cyrillic: Авантуре Боривоја Шурдиловића, English: The Adventures of Borivoje Šurdilović)) were also popular in neighbouring countries (Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria, as well as in Czechoslovakia. The main theme (titled "A sad adio", "Now it's time to say goodbye", performed - among others - by Oliver Dragojević) became very popular and is enjoying a bit of a cult status.

The show follows the adventures of Šurda, a man in his mid 30s from Vlasotince who comes to Belgrade to work and get rich. In Belgrade he lives in a small house with his granny and uncle Firga, a retired mason. Šurda buys a local barbershop, but this job doesn't suit him, so Šurda sells the barbershop and buys a car to become a taxi driver. He is not successful in this job either, so Šurda, after listening to Bob's story about better life abroad, decides to become gastarbeiter, a guest worker in Germany. But none of the jobs he finds are right for him, so he is forced to return to Yugoslavia. Here, he meets Vesna, an attractive stewardess, and the couple eventually get married. Firga succeeds in employing Šurda in his former construction firm. There, Šurda, with a little cheating, wins a flat that the company gives for its own workers, but after some internal problems within the company, Šurda is forced to fight for the flat. Eventually, Firga is awarded a new flat, so the whole family settle to a new home and they find that their new flat is occupied by Pera, a homeless chemist.
