A group of international aid workers in an unnamed post-war Balkan region spend a chaotic day attempting to retrieve a rope they need to extract a corpse from a well before it contaminates the local water supply. As bureaucratic obstacles, checkpoint delays and the absurdities of the conflict's aftermath pile up, the team's idealism is tested against the grinding reality of humanitarian work. The film balances dark comedy with moments of genuine emotional weight, exploring the bonds and tensions between its weary characters.
