The history of the Bosnian war as told by means of a tale of broken friendship between two boys; one Serbian, one Muslim. The plot is set around the abandoned so-called Brotherhood and Unity tunnel where the boys would play as children, and in which they believed lived an ogre. When many years later the war breaks out, the tunnel becomes a graveyard, as the boys find themselves on opposing sides. The film has been shown at several international film festivals, often provoking heated discussion, reflecting as it does the nationalist-religious ideology of the 1990s, which still dominates political discourse in modern Serbia.
