SYNOPSIS

It's a little known fact that one of Napoléon Bonaparte's campaigns led him through Bosnia & Herzegovina, and it is this subject that Marius, a history student from France, is writing his paper on. Accompanied by his friend Ana, their journey is fruitless as nothing but a restaurant named "Bonaparte" hints at any traces left behind by Napoléon's army. Until, that is, a Frenchman introduces himself to the two as a self-taught expert on all things Napoléon. He promises to lead them to a very special place if they take him across the border into Croatia. They accept the offer but Ana senses something sinister about this man. Her warnings are unheeded however as Marius can't believe his luck.
