Clan

The story of Balkan war mercenaries determined to build new lives and identities for themselves.

synopsis

A Balkan town, some 10 years after the war. The State is in disarray. Alexander, the Mayor of this small town called Strawberry City, is not only an ordinary Mayor: he can say that he owns the town, that he is its Alpha and Omega. As his capital project, he wants to build a touristic resort with a zoo. But Alexander has a secret. He receives a letter from the near monastery. The sender is a strange, half crazy monk that urgently wants to speak to him about the past. And the past is just horrible: together they were part of a 5-member squad of mercenaries during the Balkan wars. The only proof for that are the VHS tapes that they kept as insurance against each other, in case one of them decided to reveal their actions. And the monk wants to do exactly that: to make peace with God and hand over his copy to the police. Alexander’s whole world is in jeopardy. He calls everyone from the squad to meet, but the monk has disappeared with the tape. And so is Alexander’s daughter.

Director’statement
