Nine short films are connected into one whole, and they describe life in Croatia's capital of Zagreb.

Nova Gradiška, Eastern Croatian front, 1991. A group of high schoolers seeks comfort from the horrors and hopelessness of war in drugs and alcohol, but, in a desperate search to escape reality, they quickly turn to murder.

The war has ended. Villages of Bosnian Croats have been destroyed, and they are living in the homes of the Croatian Serbs. An old man, a Bosnian Croat, disappears. A policeman Filip, himself living in a Serbian home, investigates the case uninterestedly. Through the relationship with his father, Filip tries to understand the motives of the missing old man. As the film moves towards the end, Filip’s investigation becomes more and more personal.

Twenty people in Zagreb struggle with finding their place in the world and not reaching their full potential.
