A bleak, socially conscious portrait of addiction and moral decay in post-war Zagreb, using four young junkies as a lens onto systemic illness and national trauma.

Eliciting images of cancer, this drama explores the illnesses that plague modern Croatia. Four young junkies in Zagreb maturing in the wake of war reflect the petty hatreds, violence, prejudices and mood hanging over the country like a disease that spreads with no cure in sight.
