A darkly comedic road movie about aid workers navigating absurd bureaucracy and lingering war trauma in post-conflict Bosnia, balancing humor with the weight of humanitarian work.

Somewhere in the Balkans, 1995. A team of aid workers must solve an apparently simple problem in an almost completely pacified territory that has been devastated by a cruel war, but some of the local inhabitants, the retreating combatants, the UN forces, many cows and an absurd bureaucracy will not cease to put obstacles in their way.
