Brothers by motherhood

Genre:
Drama

Director:
Zdravko Sotra

Short description:
Provoked, Veselin murders his school mate on their senior prom. In prison, he receives a letter from his half-brother, political emigrant from Austria. Correspondence starts and his half-brother tells him about the Dalmatian mountain area in late thirties, when he was born from marriage between Serbian mother and Croat father, who joined Ustashas and died in 1941. After the war, their mother marries a Partisan fighter from their village, and Veselin was born, while he is still marked as Ustasha's son. He runs across the border and joins the Ustasha's movement in Austria. Through this contacts, their relationship evolves: from mistrust between two members of two different worlds and systems, to that what binds them together: they are brothers by their motherhood, and guilty, each in his own way.
