The story is so pungent you will feel transported to an impossible time. Cruelty and love among people suddenly facing opposite sides of a religion war. This is a beautifully constructed drama located somewhere in the Balkans (any "hint" on Bosnia is not a coincidence) where neighbour and friend families are torn apart by intolerance. Time frame is not linear, and that makes the powerful sequence of events an unforgettable experience for the audience. This one, folks, is a must.

One of the most brilliant films I've ever seen. Other reviews cover well the basics of the film - three ill-fated love stories set in or associated around a war-torn country (Bosnia implied). It draws you in, sickens you, and makes a point of how war goes on and on and on simply because people always always always have a history of mistreatment by others, so always have a reason for their own revenge.
What no other review I've read seems to note is the time trick played by the film. The tales loop back, so that each one takes place after the previous tale, and the first tale takes place after the last one. This simple twist is what makes the points of futility and pain and eternity of war - and is what makes the film so powerful and brilliant.

One of the greatest movies I've ever seen!!! Based on four different stories narrated with great expressive pathos and ambiented also in London and the beautiful landscapes of Macedonia which will take your breath away!!! The power of the emotions explode in each of the stories. Real masterpiece, thanks to the director Manchevski and the actors.
