In 1990s Sarajevo, Serbian policeman Danijel (Goran Kostić) and Muslim artist Ajla (Zana Marjanović) fall in love despite their ethnic differences. Separated when the Balkan War erupts, the two meet again when Ajla becomes a prisoner at the camp Danijel oversees. As the conflict rages on, their relationship darkens as each is torn by other loyalties. Angelina Jolie’s remarkable debut as a writer-director shines new light on a war whose wounds remain fresh, and whose causes remain murky to Western observers.
"The most compelling, heartfelt movie Jolie has made in years. She isn't in it, but she's all over it." - Mary F. Pols, Time Magazine
