Synopse
A wild, unpredictable night in Sarajevo – and the question: What’s left when war comes to an end? Selma (Mersiha Husagic), a young author from Sarajevo, has written a screenplay in which she processes her experiences as a refugee from the war in Bosnia. Then, four weeks before shooting starts, the project is cancelled. While Selma drowns her sorrows in alcohol, she forgets to tell all the cast and crew the shoot has been called off. Including actor Niklas (Niklas Löffler), who has already arrived in Sarajevo and now decides on the spur of the moment to stay. When he bumps into Selma, worlds collide – and a night of chaos, joy and destruction begins.
