It’s spring 1992 and Bosnia is on the eve of war. Oblivious to the encroaching danger two friends Stevo and Ramiz play in the spring sunshine. They pretend to be pirates and look for treasure at a nearby abandoned fort. Instead of gold they find guns which causes an argument between the friends which mirrors the conflict moving ever closer to their door. When Stevo discovers that his father, a soldier in the Serb army, has instructions to kill Muslims in the village, he sneaks out to warn his friend Ramiz, but will it be too late?
