Love among the ruins. Three Balkan love stories set in three different decades, with the same actors playing different roles in each. All three stories center on the relationship between a Croat and a Serb, and all are influenced (and to some extent damned) by recent Balkan history, the lovers united by their grudging humanity and ripped apart by wounds too deep to heal. Love won't conquer all, but it won't stop trying, either, and I guess there's hope in that. It's not much, but it's something. The fact that most viewers outside the Balkans won't even know who's a Serb and who's a Croat only reinforces the underlying tragedy.
