Plot

In April 1941, the Third Reich invaded the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The protagonist, Miloš, witnesses violent death on three separate occasions - at the beginning, during, and at the end of the Second World War. The first story takes place at a train station where, after the outbreak of the April War, mobilized members of the royal army gather and declare a photographer without identity papers and with a speech impediment a German spy and execute him. The second story shows Miloš, who joined the partisans, pursued by German soldiers. He meets a fellow partisan who, after they flee together through a swamp, sacrifices himself for him, allowing Miloš to escape. The third story takes place shortly after liberation. Miloš, now an OZNA officer, must decide whether a group of German collaborators, including a girl he is attracted to, will be shot.
