Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The daily life of a man aged 35, married, with three children. He joined Croatian Army at the very beginning of war, and was not discharged until the very end. Now he is unemployed in Zagreb, and tries to live “like others” – sharing meals with his family, toiling in his workshop, outings with friends. Even so, his routine might seem somewhat unusual. Suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, disregarded by society and government, together with two fellow veterans he does things that other people find bizarre, even crazy, but which help them to find peace and preserve the appearance of “normal” Croatian citizens. This film speaks about the problems of Croatian war veterans whose condition and needs are understood only by few. A faceless confession of pain and a testament to the profound and lasting effects of war.
