Synopsis:
Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Balkan ethnic conflicts in the 1990s, the film uses a distinct circular narrative structured into three interlocking parts: "Words," "Faces," and "Pictures." The plot follows a young Macedonian monk who harbors an Albanian fugitive girl accused of murder; a London-based photo editor trapped in a fracturing marriage who experiences sudden violence; and a disillusioned, award-winning war photographer who returns to his native Macedonian village only to discover that ethnic hatred has weaponized his former neighbors and childhood friends against one another.
