A group of young filmmakers embarks on a journey to war-torn Sarajevo with the goal of shooting a film that they believe will convey their artistic vision and bring attention to the struggles faced by the people there. Along the way, they are confronted by the harsh realities of war, which challenge their idealistic notions and force them to confront their own motivations and limitations.

Simultaneously, an elderly director in Paris grapples with his own creative and existential crises. As he works on a theater adaptation of a classic play, he reflects on the nature of art, truth, and memory. The narrative weaves together the experiences of these characters, underscoring the tension between artistic ambitions and the often brutal realities of the world. Through fragmented storytelling and evocative imagery, the film meditates on the challenges of creating meaningful art in a world marked by violence and disillusionment.
