The Trap

Post-Milosevic Belgrade, capital of a nation struggling to find its soul, of a country whose turbulent recent past has left many in a moral and existential desert.This is the home of Mladen, his wife Marija and their son Nemanja.When Nemanja develops a serious heart condition, the doctors urge an operation abroad. But where to obtain the 26,000 euros? Just when the boy΄s parents give up hope of raising the money, a man contacts Mladen and offers to pay the whole amount. But there is one thing Mladen must do: kill the man΄s business rival.The proposal repulses Mladen, but as his son΄s condition suddenly deteriorates, he begins to seriously consider the offer. If he accepts, he saves his boy΄s life but loses his soul; if he refuses, he will grieve as a righteous man until the end of his life.The trap is set...
