In Prijedor, the Bosnian town where eight girls died in the war, a true tragedy long kept silent, a war criminal comes home after serving a sentence of decades. He knows the horror of what he did, yet the community greets him as a war hero, and he tries everything to convince it that he is anything but. Poetic fragments, documents, narrative sketches and quiet reflections alternate, tracing how the evil reaches into a generation with no direct link to the crime, while the truth is spoken only by an autistic girl called Kiša and by Radost, a child of wartime rape.
