Synopsis :
We follow the fortunes of two young couples who decide to leave their respective home countries in search of a better life in Western Europe. When the Albanian couple, after all sorts of incidents, arrives in an Italian southern port, their problems start. The same fate awaits the Serbian couple when they by train enter European Union at the Hungarian border. Despite the fact that they have nothing to do with the incident
that occurred in Kosovo in which two Italian UN soldiers lost their lives,
they are arrested at the border and suspected due to unfortunate
coincidences. This prevents them, at least temporarily, from fulfilling
their dreams, as is often the case with young people in the Balkans
who pay for the mistakes of previous generations.

Goran Paskaljevic

Director’s biography :
Goran Paskaljevic was born in Belgrade on 22 April 1947.
Between 1967 and 1971, he studied at the well-known Prague
school of cinema (FAMU).
From 1971 to the present, he has made 30 shorts/documentaries and 15 feature films, many of which have been shown and acclaimed at the most prestigious international film festivals.
The rise of nationalism in Yugoslavia forced him to leave his country in 1992.
In 1998 he went back to make The Powder Keg (Cabaret Balkan) but his constant criticism of Milosevic’s regime met with violent, menacing attacks in the official press. Therefore, he decided once more to leave his native land in search of a country where he could make his film, How Harry Became a Tree.
He found Ireland.
He returned to Belgrade upon the collapse of the Milosevic regime.
There he shot is two films: Midwinter Night's Dream and The Optimists.
In 2001, the International Film Guide (Variety) marks
him as one of the top five directors of the year
(together with Lasse Hallström, Neil Jordan,
Steven Soderbergh and Edward Yang).
