Synopsis
"This meditation on the horror of war set in 1990 brings the spirit of Euripides to a Serbian detention camp for Muslim women.
Men are pitted against women, Christians against Muslims, and Croats against Serbs in a drama that bares the inner conflicts that result when society is governed by illogical ethnic hatreds.
A hard-boils, devoutly Christian guard is torn by conflicting inner voices as he interrogates a prisoner and her mother about an explosion that killed sixteen of his soldiers.
The arrival of a new, wounded camp commandant triggers murder and inevitable catastrophes reminiscent of ancient tragedy."
