In the Name of Father and Son

In a small provincial town, in the days when the Yugoslav wars began, a young journalist from a local television station writes a fiery article that inflames the already boiling passions among the locals. While the men enthusiastically respond to the mobilization and enroll in the volunteer lists en masse, only the journalist's father, an ordinary man from the people, intends to break the family tradition of glorious warriors and prevent his only son from going to the front. When his anti-war operation succeeds, the dilemma remains whether it's cost may have been too high.
