Film plot

The film investigates the dark side of the events that happened at the Zagreb Great Fair in autumn 1991 unknown to wider public. Due to war confusion, a paramilitary unit used to bring in, torture and blackmail the civilians because of their political and national affiliations. The film tears down the wall of silence built around those shameful events.
