Civil war is worse than any hell imaginable

World War II in Croatia was among those wars in which pure survival was a very complicated thing. Story how a simple man is trying to survive between hell of Nazism and hell of Communism is not a simple one, and yet few movies were made in Yugoslavia like this one, only ten years before, in the 70s, the entire crew would be probably jailed, not becuse it shows lies, but because it shows how an honest individual didn't have a chance between two evils.

A very dark and yet quite emotional film about times in which honest people were destroyed. A must see for everyone who wants to understand Croatia and why there is much tragedy around wars.

Trivia
After the successful premiere of the film in the town of Vinkovci, the director of the film Branko Schmidt and the main actor Fabijan Sovagovic went to the official dinner party were they were immediately arrested by the head of the former Yugoslaw Security police, who took them to the Station where they were both interrogated all through the night about the alleged Ustasha organizations who may have financed the film. Since this notion was absurd and all of the film's producers are named in the credits, they were both released in the morning.
