In the Land of Blood and Honey

Angelina Jolie moves behind the camera for a change. Set during the troubles in Serbia, a young Serb first meets a young Bosnian woman on the dance floor. Their flirtations are brought to an abrupt end by a bomb attack. It is 1992 and Yugoslavia's civil war is raging. He becomes a soldier with orders to obey, while she is now a woman who lives in fear of her life. Shortly afterwards she is imprisoned at an internment camp where rape and torture are the order of the day. She uses the attraction between her and her erstwhile dance partner, now one of the guards, to her advantage, but he is driven by his father to prove himself in a way she does not want.
