During the war in Bosnia, members of the Croatian Defence Army embark on a search for alcohol in no-man’s land. They stumble across a demolished bar between the lines with the Bosnian Army. When they reach the bar, there they find two member of the Bosnian Army, their recent ex friends. They hold them prisoners, however, after a short period of time, they start drinking together. A conflict with their co-fighters left on the line soon erupts.

When the Croatian War of Independence ended, some villages of Bosnian Croats have been destroyed, and the refugees were re-housed in the homes of Croatian Serbs who had left Croatia. Now however, the Serbian owners are returning, and the Croatian residents face an uncertain future. Anger and hostility arise. Intolerance towards the returning Serbs lurks around every corner and they are welcomed with gunfire from AK-47s. Somewhere in this atmosphere of terror, an old man called Jozo, a Bosnian Croat, disappears without a trace. The police officer Filip, who also lives in a Serbian house, is entrusted with the case. Everyone believes that a returning Serb has murdered Jozo, but Filip launches a detailed investigation, determined to be unbiased and fair, even though he has his own ghosts from the past to deal with.
