A story about a peasant boy from Bosnia whose destiny is scarred by the historic events in the region during the 90s. About how he becomes, though for a brief moment, an important player in these events. About how higher political and legal interests use one “little” man in the name of the “big” truth and global democracy, but denounce him when convenient. A film about contemporary sacrifice.
