Αs a response to the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, the directors created a hand-made elegy for the tragedies of war and the humanitarian and ecological disaster in this corner of Europe. The film compiles and juxtaposes frames from scenes in life in the Balkans between 1920-1940, at times aerial shots of the wasteland and at times earthly details of everyday life during that era. An analytical work that draws on the archives of a Nazi officer who participated in the bombing of the Balkans during the World War II.
