In the Land of Blood and Honey
Love can change what we want… war can change who we are
A dark, morally complex romance set against the Bosnian War, where a former connection between a soldier and his captive becomes a fraught exploration of love, complicity, and the dehumanizing effects of conflict.
During the Bosnian War, Danijel, a soldier fighting for the Serbs, re-encounters Ajla, a Bosnian who's now a captive in his camp he oversees. Their once promising connection has become ambiguous as their motives have changed.
