Storyline
During the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s, the Croat Ante and the Serb Duško fought on opposing sides. After the confilct had concluded, as many others before and after them, they moved on with their lives and found happyness in other places. Ante returned to his small village in the Dalmatian Hinterland and turned to alcoholism. Duško moved to Banja Luka and continued his life as a professional volleyball player, trying to be the best possible father for his young daughter Ingrid and get over the recent news of his wife's affair with his best man. Their routine is suddenly thwarted when a mysterious man in black named Antiša enters their lives and takes them away to an abanndoned warehouse near Zagreb, offering them a large sum of money under one simple condition: if they testify against a war criminal on an international tribunal.
