Short description
Set during the Bosnian war in the early 1990s, Luka is a mild-mannered railway clerk whose life is turned upside down, not just by the outbreak of the war, but when his wife runs off with a local musician. Then Luka's son is conscripted and eventually captured in the fighting. To recover his son, Luka is commanded to guard a pretty young Muslim nurse who will be used in a hostage swapping operation.
What's left behind the scenes
- Filming lasted for 13 months almost without interruption; the crew suffered from poor weather, and furthermore, Kusturica was constantly rewriting the script.
- The role of Captain Aleksić was played by the director's son, Stribor Kusturica.
