SYNOPSIS
With the arrival of Jelena, a journalist investigating the experiences of refugees during the war, begins Milena and Stevan’s retelling of 1995, the year they fled their home in Croatia. Desperate to escape the oncoming danger, they embarked on a journey to Serbia hoping to put the war behind them only to be swept up in it once they arrived. The desire for freedom turns the Milić family from victims into indirect accomplices in the execution of one of the most atrocious war crimes that occurred during the dissolution of Yugoslavia. Stevan’s need for a confession forces him to share secrets that have been dreading Milena for the past twenty years.
