During the war in Bosnia, members of the Croatian Defense Army (HVO) embark on a search for alcohol between their line and the one of the Bosnian Army. There they capture two members of the Bosnian Army, their ex-friends. The film focuses on the painful black humour atmosphere of truce between the warring sides, as an antiwar protest of a sort.
Branko Ištvančić
Branko Ištvančić (1967) graduated in film and TV directing from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb in 1999. Deeply rooted in the Croatian documentary tradition, Ištvančić pays special attention to the humane, but also uses humour in the treatment of his subjects. His documentaries include the award-winning short film Wellman (2003) and the critically acclaimed The Cormorant Scarecrow (1998). His first feature film The Ghost in the Swamp (2006) was Croatia’s second-highest grossing film at the box office in 2006 and marked the resurgence of interest in home-produced feature films for children.
