On the last day of the Balkan war, a Croatian squad goes on a final mission, but each of the soldiers harbours lingering questions or doubts about their roles. Taut, claustrophobic drama about the ethics and morals of war that is well enough done, with an excellent sense of foreboding atmosphere, but brings no new ideas to the table.
A Kinorama/HRT production.
Starring Ivo Gregurevic, Kresimir Mikic, Franjo Dijak, Rakan Rushaidat, Emir Hadzihafizbegovic, Niksa Butijer, Stjepan Pete.
Directed and written by Zvonimir Juric, Goran Devic; produced by Ankica Juric Tilic; music by Jura Ferina, Pavao Miholjevic; director of photography (colour), Branko Linta; production designer, Mladen Ozbolt; costume designer, Ivana Zozoli; film editor, Vanja Sirucek.
Screened: IndieLisboa festival advance DVD screener, Lisbon, April 24th 2010.
