Snipers Valley

Matlentan, Kosovo, just before end of war in 1999. It used to be that victims were the Albanians and offenders the Serbs. But now it is the other way round. Two young German soldiers, Tom and Charly, are in an almost hopeless KFOR mission. They are supposed to keep peace, but things get out of control when a sniper strikes Matlentan. Charly is injured during this attempt since he tried to rescue young beautiful Serbian Mirjana. Tom rushes after the killer firmly resolved to shoot him. But, he finds himself facing a half-grown Albanian child, Durcan, holding a sharpshooters rifle in his hand. Soon Durcan’s motive becomes clear: Mirjana’s father, Dr. Jovovic, was partly responsible for the Serbian massacre and has also Durcan’s family on his conscience. Above all, the Albanian military commander Enver wants his revenge on the Jovovic’s. With the help of Mirjana Tom successfully wins the trust of traumatised Durcan. Tom and Mirjana fall in love, which puts the friendship with Charly to a difficult test. But Durcan escapes and Mirjana is confronted with a shocking truth: Enver has long decided to have her killed – and that he has commanded Durcan to execute the sentence.
