Goran Petranović

Kendini ülkesine hizmet etmeye adamış bir Sırp asker savaşta ciddi biçimde yaralanır, yaralandıktan sonra savaş öncesi parçalanmamış Yugoslavya'nın huzurunu şefkatle anımsamaya başlar. Çocukluğundaki en yakın arkadaşı olan bir müslüman da bu hatıralarda kendine yer bulmuştur. Ama bu eski arkadaşının -şimdiki azılı düşmanının- da aynı hastanede iyileşme sürecinde olduğunu öğrendiğinde görevini yerine getirmek için yeniden ant içer * İçinde bir miktar mizah da olduğu için film çok dramatik değil, daha çok düşündürücü *

Belgrade, the summer of 1991. Yugoslavia is falling apart. Gavran can't get a driving licence because he is color blind. He is a rural Bosnian introvert obsessed with trucks. So, as soon as he is released from prison, he steals a truck to go on a joyride. Suzana, a city girl, discovers she is pregnant, but until she's due for an abortion, she decides to go to Dubrovnik. She hitchikes and Gavran almost runs her over. She is unhurt, but she blackmails him to take her to Dubrovnik. Two people from different worlds, equally removed from the real one. For him she is the first woman he can talk to; for her he is just another idiot to add to the long list of them that she has so far compiled. But the pressure of danger and the intimations of war force them together. The world about them has become so absurd that they seem to each other the only sober people left.

Taking place just after the end of Bosnian War, the series is mostly set in a kafana named Složna braća owned by Halimić brothers and located on a small patch of UN-controlled territory (covering 0.0657 km2) not claimed by any of the three warring sides. Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats, otherwise very hostile to each other following a ferocious civil war, regularly visit the said kafana in no man's land in order to arrange mutual black market activities (weapons and food trade, oil and cigarette smuggling, etc.). When the word gets around about an important weapons shipment passing through the territory that can supposedly completely change the division of power in the Balkans, the place becomes a lively hub of espionage, deal making, and skulduggery.
