A Tight Spot (Serbian: Tesna koža) is a 1982 Yugoslav comedy film directed by Mića Milošević and written by Siniša Pavić along with Ljiljana Pavić. The film achieved enormous popularity throughout SFR Yugoslavia, spawning three sequels by the end of the decade.

The story centers around Dimitrije "Mita" Pantić, a bewildered clerk in his mid-fifties working in a crusty state-owned company under corrupt boss Srećko Šojić. Constantly frustrated and stressed out, Pantić's personal life isn't much better either. Living in a cramped apartment with his wife Sida and their three grown children Branko, Mira, and Aca, each with their own problems, Pantić also has to endure his cranky mother and a state-assigned subtenant Suzana under the same roof.
