A group of aid workers work to resolve a crisis in an armed conflict zone.
A Spanish film about the Balkan Way and atrocities.
The cast is led by a several Hollywood notables. Decent acting and script. Good pace and cinematography. The movie allows a rare look into the terrible atrocities of civilians terrorizing their neighbors.
As the aid workers try to extricate a body from a well. They are confounded by local apathy and bureaucracy. We do get a look through their eyes as they face jittery militia, armed kids and constant fear of mines and bobby traps.
Faced with daily danger and horrors, some of them develop a cynic sense of humor. They befriend a local boy and we get to see the tragedy faced by the orphans of a civil war.
The feel good ending came as a welcome surprise. Kudos to the director and book author.
I enjoyed it despite the difficult subject matter.
