Guardians of the Formula (Serbian: Čuvari formule, Serbian Cyrillic: Чувари формуле) is a 2023 Serbian drama film directed by Dragan Bjelogrlić and written by Vuk Ršumović.[1] It is based on the novel The Case of VinčabyGoran Milašinović, who was also a collaborator on the screenplay.[2]

The film follows the aftermath of the 1958 reactor incidentatVinča Nuclear Institute and the subsequent treatment of irradiated Yugoslav physicists at the Curie InstituteinParis, which involved the first bone marrow grafts between unrelated donors and hosts ever made in the world.[3][4]

Plot[edit]

In the midst of the Cold War crisis in October 1958, a group of scientists at the Vinča Nuclear Institute implemented a secret project led by professor Dragoslav Popović. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they are exposed to a lethal dose of radiation and are taken by the Yugoslav secret police to the Curie clinic in Paris for treatment.

The French medical team led by professor Georges Mathé concludes that their condition is critical and that their days are numbered. Although Mathé has dedicated his whole life to fighting against the possession of nuclear weapons and deeply despises the project which the Yugoslav scientists worked on, he proposes to carry out, for the first time in history, the delicate and uncertain intervention of replacing the bone marrow of irradiated patients.[3]
