All wars are because of hatred. So we call them the enemy.
Hate ends in tragedy. Tragedy is to tear up something beautiful for others to see.
This movie is about a war tragedy.


His wife and children were killed by Muslim terrorists, and he lost the two most loved ones of his life.
So he also joined the ranks of hatred, he became a mercenary, incognito, aimless killing, causing people who did not know to lose their relatives and lives.
This is a racial war interwoven by hatred, and there is no conclusion about who is the savior.
Because of the war, the tragedy is magnified.


It was in such a war full of hatred that, by chance, he saw the annihilation of humanity again, and rekindled the compassion and love deep in his heart.
On the battlefield, when Serbs and Muslims exchange prisoners of war. He met the woman with a big belly.
The Serb woman, raped and pregnant by Muslims, was brutally kicked in the belly by Serb soldiers in the culvert.
He killed the Serb soldier in a fit of rage, and when she was born prematurely, he delivered her in the culvert.


The Serb woman was indifferent as the poor baby girl was waiting to be fed, looking for her mother's nipple.
She is pregnant with the wild seed of the enemy. She couldn't forgive herself, neither her countrymen nor even her father could forgive her.
She was kicked out of the house, and out of sympathy he began to take her away.


But the sinister environment, dangerous identity, and ubiquitous hatred made him gradually understand that letting go of hatred is not easy.
If his protection of the weak mother and son in this war can save his own soul, the road to redemption is more difficult than the one that fell into hatred at that time.
Maybe that's the price of atonement.


The young mother who ran away together for survival, in order to protect a little life born from hatred, resolutely died, she sang that lullaby for the last time, like the sound of nature.
When I saw this, my eyes were a little hot, and I couldn't let go of the moved and sad mood for a long time.
That is the purest form of maternal love, the most beautiful part of human nature.
At this time, he finally understood what real salvation was.
All wars are tragedies. Who can save whom?
No one can save anyone without letting go of hatred.

PS

I haven't been able to find the original sound of this movie. I want to find the lullaby that the Serbian woman sang to her child before she died. If anyone knows, let me know. . . Thanks! ! :)
