SYNOPSIS
A small town in south Herzegovina, in the wake of the war. After years of communist rule, a new democratic government has been elected, which means that all the offences of the previous system have been suddenly, automatically forgiven. This is a sign for Divko Buntic to return home, after years of exile, with one thing in mind; revenge. He comes back with a new wife forty years his junior, a new Mercedes, a black cat and lots and lots of money…
