Kristijan Topolovec

A two-part anthology consisting of two early feature films of pioneering directors Goran Kulenović and Kristijan Milić. The first of the two stories (The Safehouse) follows three police officers send on duty to guard a very persuasive client who reveals details about their lives that only they themselves could know. The second story (Bottoms Up) follows a young man named Tom, who decides to spend a lazy summer afternoon by visiting his favorite neighborhood bar, but, the more time passes by, the worse his day there becomes.

Ilija is a member of the Croatian Defence Council (HVO) somewhere in Central Bosnia in late 1993. One morning, after a routine mine laying campaign, he learns his younger brother Goran was killed far beyond enemy lines, together with eight other soldiers. Through a friend from the secret service, he finds out the mission was an unofficial one and that Goran and the others were acting as mercenaries. Ilija begins to expose a network of illegal activity involving not only the military, but high-ranking officials. As the investigation becomes more dangerous, his original intention to find out the truth slowly turns into a pathological mission of vengeance.
