The armed conflicts of the 1990s left deep scars across the former Yugoslavia, with differing interpretations of the past creating tension. Less than two decades after the war ended, a group of veterans from various nations participates in a therapy session at a secluded mountain hotel. The atmosphere is volatile, and old prejudices and unspoken traumas threaten to erupt, as the men struggle to confront the atrocities they committed and witnessed, and to acknowledge their shared pain.
