Three episodes link together showing hatred, violence, and war. The story centers on the civil wars that Macedonia has endured and is told from the point of view of three different characters. The effect is stunning as events are not in chronological order, and the viewer must put puzzle pieces together. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

Two intertwined stories unfold–one in modern New York and the other in Oklahoma and Macedonia 100 years previously. When a small-time burglar breaks into an apartment, an elderly woman (Rosemary Murphy) subdues him and forces the burglar to listen to a story of her family. This involves the tale of two brothers (Joseph Fiennes and David Wenham), one a ruthless, fun-loving killer and the other a righteous Christian, who become rivals not only for a woman but in a Macedonian conflict.
