The
war in Yugoslavia
serves as
backdrop
to an ethnic
clash between
a Serbian
and Kosovar family in
the Bronx. Once
best friends,
fathers Gregor
and Mirosh
now battle
over the
war abroad
and their
nationalistic
obsessions,
leading both
to neglect
their own
families.
Meanwhile, their children, Kosta and Lily, are secretly
caught up in a romance. But before the two can successfully
run away together, Mirosh discovers them and challenges Gregor
to a street fight.
In this final confrontation, the fate of both families becomes
inextricably tied together by the very violence they fled
in former Yugoslavia.
