Love and violence are explored in three tales of freedom set against war-torn Macedonia. A monk quits the clergy to which he had devoted most of his life so that he may be with a beautiful refugee, an editor must decide between her husband and her lover, and a photographer returns to his war-torn home town in this unforgettable drama.
“Working
in a sophisticated, elliptical style, [Manchevski finds] . . . his story's deepest
meaning in hauntingly oblique connections. Ideas that defy reason, like the
immutability of hatred and violence, may be best approached this way.” -Janet
Maslin, New York Times
