50 YEARS APART, TWO ARMIES WILL FIGHT TO THE SAME DEATH…
WINNER OF 15 INTERNATIONAL AWARDS
In this award winning adaptation of Josip Mlakics popular novel, first time director Kristijan Milic expertly illustrates that those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Its the same place, the same circumstances, but fifty years apart. Weaving between warfare in 1943 and 1993, this war film highlights the haunting parallels of both: a squadron of HVO (recent Bosnian Croats Army soldiers) as they walk the same path and the same fate of their Domobran (defenders of the Croat Independent State) forefathers half a century before them.
As soldiers from both eras make their way toward an eerie cemetery, the hopeless cycle of bloodshed seems to repeat itself continuously and forever. We are all dead, just waiting to be buried.
