This is a film about confronted parallel memories of a village that brutally changed twice its name, population and its own history, and got trapped in a vicious circle of never-ending traumas of the 20th century.
Hidden in the outskirts of Europe, nested between two mountains in Eastern Croatia, lays a village that brutally changed twice its name, population and its own history. This village is immersed in unspoken and conflicting memories passed on from generation to generation. Recollection of past inter-ethnic conflicts is being transformed as to keep a seed of future trauma and war. The village that used to be the home of two nations becomes a paradigm of a vicious circle of mutual feelings of injustice and generalization of guilt, forever trapped in historical traumas of the 20th century.
