Synopsis

In the Bosnian wasteland, where NATO troops carry out their military training, a girl named Alice and her uncle Valentin collect old grenade and cannon shell fragments. Ironically named “land of wonders”, this ravaged landscape contaminated by war, suffering, fear and depleted uranium, serves as a backdrop for a unique anti-fairytale, drawing on a diverse range of storytelling traditions.
