In the heart of the Balkans, in the late 90s, a group of Serbian soldiers finds themselves trapped in the chaos of war. As the conflict in Yugoslavia intensifies, loyalty and honor are put to the test when their lives are changed forever after a dangerous mission. The plot follows a young captain and his squad as they venture into enemy territory to recover a group of hostages, facing not only bullets but also their own fears and insecurities.
As the group traverses inhospitable and war-devastated regions, bonds of camaraderie and friendship develop, but the moral complications that come with conflict also emerge. The mission, which seemed straightforward, transforms into an epic struggle for survival, where every decision could cost them their lives or, worse, their humanity.
Throughout the journey, the soldiers must contend with propaganda, a lack of resources, and the ghosts of a past that still linger, all while questioning whether they are truly fighting for a just cause or merely following orders without question. In this context of despair and courage, the true meaning of bravery, loyalty, and sacrifice is put to the test, raising the question: what would you do to protect those you love in times of war? The film is an intense reflection of the reality of conflict, filling each scene with raw emotion and deep reflection.
