Having returned from The Hague where he served a longtime prison sentence for the war crimes committed in Croatia and in Bosnia, Žarko contacts his wife Vesna, a visiting nurse who hasn't heard from him for twenty years, wishing to revive their relationship. When Žarko abandoned her, Vesna and their children moved from the town of Sisak to the city of Zagreb, trying to hide her and her children's identity in a big city, and to protect her children from their father's “legacy”.

Zrinko Ogresta (1958) graduated in Film and Television Directing at the Academy of Dramatic Arts in Zagreb where he works as professor of film directing.
