This documentary recounts a story of a young man who deserts the special unit of the JNA and walks the distance from Belgrade to Sarajevo hoping to join the resistance to the aggression of the very army he left and in whose fold he spent five years of his youth. He is apprehended with the threat of being killed. With the help of a friend "Boat" he escapes the military prison where he was held in captivity. On his way to Sarajevo he crosses a river on the Bosnian border, makes an incredible journey through the occupied territories before finally accomplishing his goal - coming to Sarajevo and joining the resistance.
