What is the meaning of achievements in life?...is it the money ?..or is its the great nostalgia for the place we left calling us back..a great story set in the initial years of  Yugoslavian Civil War 1991.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1991. The disintegration of communist regime in Yugoslavia and Divko Buntic returns to the small town where he grew up to reclaim his family home. After a 20-year exile in Germany, with sexy young girlfriend Azra, lucky black cat Bonny and a pocketful of Deutschmarks. Divko uses his money and connections to forcefully evict estranged wife Lucija, but he tries to reunite with 20-year-old son Martin. Croatia has seceded, all Yugoslavs are being forced to take sides, and the Serbs begin bombing Dubrovnik. Although their area is on high alert, many still can't imagine anyone or anything could divide Bosnia and Herzegovina.the personal story runs in the mainstream where the war unfolds on the other front.

Emotional..touching..and a pleasant feel altogether
