This interesting movie is about to be produced and distributed in all 
countries of former Yugoslavia. It features a multi-ethnic gay couple 
- Serb and Bosniak - trying to leave war-time Sarajevo and go to the 
West. They get stuck in a Serbian village on the outskirts of 
Sarajevo, where the Serb is forced to go to the war, while Bosniak is 
forced to stay behind, waiting for him as his bride. Serbian 
homosexual is played by a Bosniak who presently runs a TV show in 
Croatia, while the Bosniak homosexual is played by a Croatian actor 
from Mostar. In a spectacular revival of the 'brotherhood and unity' 
the cast is joined by well known ex-Yugoslav star actors of various 
ethnic backgrounds (Serbian, Croat, Bosniak): Mirjana Karanovic, 
Nermin Tulic, Rade Šerbedžija, and Branko Ðuric. Is Yugoslavia back? 
No. But movie making is an expensive art, and the new countries are 
simply to small to support each their own Hollywood, so we may see 
similar transfrontier co-operation in film industry of ex-Yugoslav 
statelets in the years to come, benefiting from the similarity of 
language.
