Synopsis

In the autumn of 1991, a small group of Croatian soldiers go on patrol in an improvised armoured vehicle. Soon, they are ambushed, the vehicle gets destroyed and they are forced to hide in a nearby house. Their resistance to the rebel Serbs, Yugoslav Army and Serbian Special Forces lasts for 24 hours, while their fellow combatants are trying to get them out. The story is based on true events.
