PLOT: The main character Struja (Stream – played by Ivan Herceg) is an unyielding rock musician in a demo-band called When Dirty Harry Met Dirty Sally. Struja would do anything to gather money to record the album as long as it doesn't involve giving up his rock musician beliefs. However, playing pop songs at weddings seems to be the only way out, and the rest of the bend – Struja's best friend and keyboard player Mario (Ivan Duricic), Deni, a handsome singer and bass player (Ivan Glowatzky) and Zlajfa, an indifferent drummer (Hrvoje Keckes) – are trying to persuade Struja to make a compromise. At the beginning he is very firm and reluctant to give in, but when Anja, the girl he left, announces that she is pregnant with his baby, Struja suddenly realizes that there are bigger issues in life than playing at wedding…

PLOT: The film The Living and the Dead shows two parallel stories connecting same place and war environment, but half a century apart.
The first story takes place in 1993. during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the second one takes place in 1943. during the World War II.
Both stories parallely complement one another during the film and after numerous disturbing events finally collide at a secret timeless cemetery. Considered to be cursed, the cemetery is the place where powerful forces are released before dawn: the Fire force- alternately present in both stories, and the force of the Dead- the force of people who died in all wars...
