1993, the bleakest time of war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. A group of actors from Belgrade, utterly unaware of what they’re getting into, embark on a quest for a few quick dinars – via a “tour” of Serbian Krajina. Before they know it, they are caught up in the vicious Bosnian civil war and they begin to wander from one war front to another, from one army to the next. During their appalling journey they meet Serbian, Muslim and Croatian fighters, and are faced with seemingly hopeless predicaments out of which they always manage to work their way. Their naivety, which is what got them into the terrible situations in the first place, is also what saves them. Putting their acting skills to extra use, they manage to escape from perils they encounter every step of the way. Despite everything, during their “tour”, which is filled with ordeals and humiliations, they preserve the quality that is essential to all actors – a childish passion for play. This quality is so far removed from what animates the people who are at war that it leaves the villains around them perplexed and protects the group of actors during their entire journey – a sort of guardian angel. After having experienced all the horrors of war, they return to their theater as different people.The war has changed them: they are no longer the innocent, child-like creatures who look forward to getting up on stage, but people with a dark shadow cast over their souls.
