February 27, 1993, Strpci, Bosnia and Herzegovina. A passenger train from Belgrade to Bar is stopped by paramilitary forces in an ethnic cleansing operation. As they haul off innocent civilians, only one man out of 500 passengers dares to stand up to them. This is the true story of a man who could not remain silent. Winner of the Palme D’Or for Best Short Film in Cannes and the first Croatian winner of this prestigious recognition since Croatian independence.
