Year 1993. The bleakest time of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A group of actors from Belgrade, utterly unaware of what they’re setting themselves up for, embark on a search for quick earnings – on a “tour” around the Serbian Krajina. Thrust into the heart of war, wandering from warfront to warfront, meeting with Serbian, Muslim and Croatian fighters, they manage to save themselves from all perilous situations thanks to the quality that every actor must have – a childish passion for play.

 

A few days later, after having experienced all the horrors of war and having even been on the brink of death on a few occasions, they return to their theatre as different people. The war had changed them: they are no longer the innocent, child-like creatures who look forward to play but people with a dark shadow cast over their souls.

 

Written and directed by Goran Markovic (Tito and Me, Tragedy Burlesque, Serbie Année Zéro, Kordon), both TV series and film are classic road movies by type and tragicomedies where scenes of horror will give way to scenes of laughter and humour will descend into darker moments.
