The plot of this film is set in an idyllic village in the middle of Bosnia,
connected wit outer world only with a tunnel. Story begins in
1996, when refugees in a police escort come close to their, due to war
abandoned, homeland and a tunnel - their only connection with the
world. There is an old man among them, who stubbornly goes though the
tunnel towards the grave of his long lost love, not considering the
change of flags and boundaries, fearless, just with memories to the
past not less painful and not less scaring and unfair in which he
already lost everything he had, loved... all dreams, hopes and ideals,...
Film relies on a tragic love triangle between beautiful young

policeman Milenko, who takes revenge, unable to conquer Mejra,
sending her boyfriend to prison, and her to forced work. Through this
love story breaks out historical milieu settled in fifties, in the
era of titoist communism and political processes against ideological
enemies, in this case against members of religious islamic movement

revenge, political capability, ideological hastyness, simplicity
of village life in which surmounts rituality of customs, idyllic
nature and unpredictability of destinies.
