Babylon A.D.
Whilst Todd is whooping it up in Germany, experiencing the true joy, comfort, and support that only authentic Lederhosen can bring a man, he passed along this bit of news sent to us by one of our readers Marko. The big winner at last summers Pula Film Festival was a film from Croatia / Bosnia-Herzegovina titled Zivi I Mrtvi, or, The Living and the Dead. It won 8 of the possible 14 categories. Based on the novel by Josip Mlakic Zivi I Mrtvi is the story of history repeating itself as we follow two story lines, one happening in 1943 and another in 1993, both in the same place in Bosnia.
In 1943, a group of Croatian fascists overtake a strategically important point in western Bosnia and capture a group of Muslims. The Croatians keep them as hostages until the next group arrives to replace them. The main character Martin kills one of the Muslims and steals his watch. This act connects to the story in 1993 when we meet Martin’s grandson Tomo. He is one of six soldiers of the Croatian army who have come to the same place in Bosnia. They fight a group of Bosnian soldiers and capture those they haven’t killed. In order to leave the place they have to kill the rest. We also find out that one of the captured soldiers is the grandson of the Muslim killed by Tomo’s grandfather.
