When Slavko’s old friend Đulaga dies, Slavko feels obliged to go to the funeral. But in his hometown of Mostar this simple social obligation has the potential to get him into all kinds of trouble: with his neighbours or even with local political bigwigs. Yet if he does not go, his wife will think he’s a coward, the grieving family will never forgive him – and Slavko might have trouble forgiving himself.

This is a compelling tale of everyday life in a fractured society, and a world where paranoia, comedy and drama co-exist. It is also an astute psychological portrayal of a man who is forced to cross the invisible line that divides two communities in a town. Above all, it is the story of a man who lost everything that defined him, when his country disintegrated.
