SYNOPSIS

Vince Harrington (Podriac Delaney), ambitious Junior Legal Officer, works endless hours in the maze of the ICTY archives at The Hague while his senior colleague reaps the credits. This isn’t how he imagined his life.

With a consent of the senior judge (Marthe Keller) who, facing a personal crisis resigns from her post, Vince takes upon a self-assigned journey to a fictitious, ex- Yugoslav, country in order to obtain a pre-trial statement from an insider witness Nikola Radin, alias The General (Bruno Ganz)... 

Supposedly, he is the only man capable of pinning down an alleged war criminal, Miro Pantic, whose trial has been dragging on for years due to lack of evidence. After a week of wondering through the streets of the country’s capital, Vince realizes that his host, deputy-minister Nedeljko Batac, (Garry Whelan) has no intention to get him in touch with general Radin : “ That man has no telephone, he doesn’t collect a pension and he doesn’t pay electricity bills. How am I to track him...?” 

Mistrustful and obstinate, escorted by Batac’s entourage, Vince takes upon himself to find Radin who, according to his information, lives in his ancestral village by the sea. 

Realizing that his escorts have no intention other then to distract him, Vince runs away only to discover that he is followed by deputy Batac and his armed entourage.

The random encounter with Radin’s only daughter, Ines, is Vince’s lucky chance or so he thinks... It doesn’t take long for Vince to understand that his personal quest for justice and his drive for a career leap will become an ultimate journey of self-discovery.
