Background

The movie is based on a true story, in which the driver that caused a fatal 1957 bus-truck collision was never identified. "H-8" is the beginning of that driver's license plate, the only available information on the culprit's vehicle.[2][3]

Reception

In a 1999 poll among 44 Croatian film critics and film historians, H-8 placed second in the list of all-time best Croatian films, behind One Song a Day Takes Mischief Away.[4] In a similar 2020 poll, it placed first.[5]

Awards

H-8 won the Big Golden Arena for Best Film at the 1958 Pula Film Festival.[6]
