The mysterious story represents a point of view to what caused the first and the second Balkan wars, the latter better known in history as Interallied. The film shot in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia and Greece is about events which create and continue to fuel tensions in the Balkans in the course of close to a century. It shows little known but horrifying facts about the Balkan tragedy of the time.
