The omnibus Kljuc was made in order to enable the three promising young filmmakers - Vanca Kljakovic (Duga ulica), Krsto Papic (Čekati) and Antun Vrdoljak (Poslije predstave), who at the time was already an acclaimed actor - to make their directing debut. Kljakovic and Papic’s stories brought a certain freshness to Croatian cinematography, while Vrdoljak’s story was less popular.

Awards: Pula 1965 - Special award to Krsto Papić for direction
