Synopsis
Zeko (50), a barber and a former soldier, a PTSD-sufferer, invites his brother Tocho
(40) and their fried Grga (46) for Eid, hoping to take advantage of the festive mood
to call to reason his gambling, heavy-drinking brother, to point out his mistakes and
push him to change. Grga, a taxi driver, is the only friend he has.
Tocho doesn't want to listen to Zeko, he doesn't take his worlds seriously. Zeko
thinks he will be listened to only if he does something outrageous, something
memorable. He picks up a shaving blade and presses it on his brother's neck, forcing
him to promise to change. Tocho leaves in fury and never wants to see him again.
Grga opens up to Zeko, as he his not faultless either. He has a young mistress and
lives a parallel life, with a wife and children whom he loves. Does he too deserve a
blade across his neck too? He suggests a psychiatrist for Zeko and offers to help him.
Left alone, on the edge, after losing his brother and his only friend, Zeko picks up
a hand-grenade. He wants to end his life. An impending suicide is interrupted by
the arrival of Damir (30), a young man who sells books door to door. Zeko offers
him a shave. Damir notices a photo of Zeko from years ago, with a soccer team, at a
tournament. He invites him to choose life, to come and play football with him and
his friends. Damir leaves. Zeko is left alone. Faced with a choice between a bomb and
a ball – he choses the ball.
