Plot
A railway engineer and a Muslim nurse in Bosnia in 1992.
Sinekatalog’s take
Emir Kusturica's wartime tragicomedy of a Serbian engineer and a Muslim nurse is chaotic, lyrical and exuberant. Its brass music, donkeys and madcap love story mix war and joy in typical Kusturica style.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
