Synopsis
During the conflict in the former Yugoslavia many soldiers were ordered to kill fellow citizens, including friends and relatives, in the name of patriotism.
When Goran, a promising young soccer player, transitions to life as an executioner, he finds his old soccer coach and life-long friend staring down the barrel of his gun and he is forced to make an impossible choice between his own life and that of his friend.
