The year is 1914. The place: A village in Serbia on the bank of the river Sava, the natural border with the mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire. The population of the village is divided into two radically opposed fractions - the able-bodied potential army recruits and the invalid veterans from the previous two Balkan wars. There is bitter animosity between the two groups. At the start of the First World War, the healthy population is mobilized. The invalids left behind in the village try to take advantage of the soldiers' wives and sisters. News of this reached the Serbian soldiers in the trenches a few days before the expected enemy attack.
To prevent a munity, the Serbian High Command decides to take the invalids to the front line and thus deal with "the inconvenience". These extraordinary events, based on a true story, form the backdrop for and ill-fated love triangle between a young war invalid, a local policeman and his wife, a story that unfolds with all the epic power of ancient Greek tragedy.
