The film tells the story of a couple who find themselves on different sides of the conflict in the Balkans. Serbian policeman Danijel and Muslim artist Ajla were a couple before the war, but when violence grips the country, their relationship changes radically. Months later, they meet again in besieged Sarajevo, she as a prisoner in a camp and he as a ruthless aggressor. The former, but still smoldering love, this time due to different national motives, torn between the social and ethnic responsibility of their origins, can no longer be revived. With this film, Angelina Jolie made her debut as a director.
