The war is over. A married couple is blossoming, enjoying good jobs at Sarajevo's airport and expansive parties in the clubs of the Bosnian metropolis. Alas, their happiness doesn't last long, as the aftereffects of the war are lurking just under the surface. Amar's problems with alcohol gain the upper hand as he increasingly loses his bearings. The self-assured and sunny stewardess Luna wants to support her husband – but not at the expense of her own freedom. With great sensitivity and courage, Jasmila Žbanić approaches a rarely treated yet highly charged issue: the increasing influence of radical, ultra-conservative religious factions on liberal society in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina.
