The background of the film is the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1995, and the famous "No owner's Land" should be at the same time. It's mainly the story of an old man fleeing the war zone with a child. The biggest point of this film is the wonderful performance of the two leading men. The old actor Bob Hoskins portrays Saatchi's cunning, insolence, panic and tenderness, while the little boy who plays Vilado convincingly interprets the image of a child in troubled times who is mature but not natural.
