Plot
It shows three friends before the WWII in Dubrovnik - a Jew, a Croat and a Serb, who during the war undergo different fates. Crimes by the Croat Ustaše in Dubrovnik are portrayed. Serbs and Jews are rounded up, and killed in genocide. Eyes are gouged out, tongues cut off, while victims are killed by enthusiastic Croats in a van. The film was controversial due to honest portrayal of the widespread Ustaše atrocities by a Croatian director.
