a| Two maternal half-brothers, a Croat and a Serb, have been separated since birth. Years later, Veselin murders a schoolmate and ends up in prison, where he receives a letter from his older Croat half-brother Braco, now a political emigrant living in Austria. A correspondence starts and Veselin learns about his brother’s past. Braco was born in 1930s in an ethnically mixed family. With the beginning of WWII, his Croat father was recruited by the Ustasha but soon killed by partisans. After the hardships of war, Braco’s Serbian mother married a village partisan and Veselin was born, but Braco was still regarded as a “son of the Ustasha”. While he was in the army, his girlfriend's family arranged for her to marry a much older man, and when she ran away to Braco, his superior officers informed her family and sent Braco to a distant garrison. Disillusioned, Braco escaped across the border and joined the Ustasha movement. Through the letters and tapes that the brothers send to each other, their relationship evolves from initial mistrust to a mutual understanding and almost a bond. Though aware that the police have listened to his tapes, Braco joins his employer on a journey to Yugoslavia, knowing that he will be arrested at the border. The two brothers finally meet in prison.
