Ivan is a 36-year old ex-rock singer and a disillusioned war veteran who lost both legs in the recent Croatian War of Independance. His father, Izidor, was a well-known political prisoner in the former Yugoslavia, and is now standing as an independent candidate for the Croatian Parliament. One day, a familiar face from the past reappears: Simo, an impoverished Serb who was once a wealthy state official who was responsible for Izidor's arrest. He knows certain facts about Izidor that could destroy his reputation and wreck his political campaign. In return for his silence, Simo demands money from Izidor, as well as starting an affair with his wife Ana. Fearing for the future of his campaiagn, Izidor murders Simo and buries his body in the garden, catching the attention of a homicide investigator. Meanwhile, Ivan, tired of his disability, decides to start provoking other Croatian war veterans by singing Serbian nationalist songs, which lands him in prison.
