Four young kids who live in a village of military officers’ families form a small gang. An old abandoned army base located in the surrounding wild fields is their camp. Another war begins in Israel and most men are drafted to serve their country. Mothers sit worried in front of televisions and listen to the constant news reports, while the kids, with no one to supervise them, return to their camp in the wild. To their surprise, they discover two soldiers who deserted their units, using their camp as a hideout. A ruthless struggle develops between the groups, and the soldiers who sought refuge from the war outside find themselves in another war, which turns to be as dangerous and bloody.
The rise and fall of a dictatorship in a classroom. At first glance this is a film about childhood, but it is also deeply political. The story takes place in Macedonia, where politics and ethnicity still create great divisions in the population. On their first day in junior high school, three friends meet their new classmates. The teacher Ghani quickly discovers that old conflicts divide the class. Ghani, who will lose his job as the new government replaces the old teachers with their own administration, tries to convince the director to keep him on. He declares his intention to make peace in his class, and starts work on mediation. He is determined not to quit until the groups have reconciled. This is a film about boys who reproduce their fathers’ feuds and about a country where choosing the wrong side in politics can have serious consequences.
