Before the truth

Genre:
War aftermath

Director:
Vojislav (Kokan) Rakonjac

Short description:
The story of two people who meet again twenty years after the war. During the war they were enemies: Partisan Mladen shot Chetnik Strahinja, but he survived by chance. Now the situation, ironically, has changed: Mladen, the war winner, is completely shattered, excluded from society and disgraced, while Strahinja enjoys all the benefits and pleasures of life, even offering help to the man who shot him once. Their former conflict now gets new motives and ends in tragedy, mercilessly for both of them.
