1993, the bleakest time of the war in Bosnia & Herzegovina. A group of actors from Belgrade, utterly unaware of what they’re setting themselves up for, embark on a search for quick earnings – on a tour of Serbian Krajina. They are thrust into the heart of war and begin to wander from warfront to warfront. During their horrible journey, they meet Serbian, Muslim and Croatian fighters, are faced with hopeless situations but always seem to work their way out of them. During their tour, filled with various ordeals and serious humiliation, they preserve the quality that every actor must have: a childish passion for acting. After having experienced all the horrors of war, they return to their theater as different people. The war has changed them: they are no longer the innocent, child-like creatures who look forward to getting up on stage, but people with a dark shadow cast over their souls.
