Usekovanje paints a portrait of a family and of Jovan, its youngest member and black sheep. The entire story takes place in just one day, in one apartment, during the celebration of the Beheading of St. John the Baptist. John's parents are hiding the fact that they are getting divorced from their son and their guests, and John is hiding from them that he is using drugs while hoping that aliens will save him from the hopeless and meaningless existence on Earth.

Cvetić is directing from the script written by David Jakovljević. The key roles are played by: Pavle Mensur, Bojan Žirović, Aleksandra Balmazović, Aleksandra Pleskonjić Ilić, Momčilo Pićurić, Marko Grabež, Dubravka Kovjanić, Milica Janevski, Anita Ognjanović, Jovana Gavrilović, Zlatan Vidović and Aleksandar Đurica.
