Contents Summary
Combining a crime plot with a tragic love story, the film is set against the background of the recent Albanian-Serbian conflict in Kosovo. Shot before the Kosovo war, the film follows young Belgrade student Andrijana, in love with a mysterious Italian with whom she luxuriously travels across Europe. After she realizes that he is actually a Kosovo Albanian she starts to worry, and with constant changes of their place of residence, she gradually realizes that her boyfriend is involved in some shady business. The family drama evolves further as it soon becomes clear that he is a hit man for the Albanian drug mafia, while his brother is a detective with Serbian police who are trying to stop the drug route across Kosovo. Torn between Albanian mafia, family ties and chased by the Serbian police, he tries unsuccessfully to save his love and his life. Interestingly, but not unexpectedly in a bloody finale he also kills his own brother, otherwise virtually the only positive Albanian character of the whole movie.
