A young Swiss journalist, Christian Würtenberg, joined a paramilitary group in the Balkan war, hoping to write a book about the atrocities he witnessed. Despite being an outsider, he was drawn into the conflict, but his life was tragically cut short before he could publish his findings. His cousin, Anja Kofmel, directed a film about his experiences, incorporating archive footage, live interviews, and haunting animation scenes to convey the horrors of war. The film masterfully explores the complexities of war, showing that both sides committed crimes, and highlights the devastating impact on civilians and soldiers alike.
