During the war in Kosovo, the young Serbian widow Danica falls in love with Ramiz, a Kosovo-Albanian soldier who, wounded in battle, seeks refuge in her home. But their fragile happiness is threatened by Danica's jealous neighbour Jelena... The Kosovo War, 1999. Albanians are fighting Serbs, Serbs are fighting Albanians. Neighbours have become enemies. Friends are killing each other. Danica, a young Serbian, lives with her two sons Danilo and Vlado in a small Serbian-Albanian village on the river Ibar. Her husband was killed in the fighting and she is in mourning. When Ramiz, a critically injured Kosovo-Albanian soldier, seeks shelter in her home, she is forced to make a decision: turn him over to the Serbian militia or try to save his life? Danica and Ramiz are practically neighbours, since he lives on the Albanian side of the river near the hospital where she gave birth to her children. Now they are enemies. By helping him she is endangering her life and the lives of her children. They fall in love but their fragile happiness is threatened by her jealous neighbour Jelena. Danica slowly realizes that there is no way she can escape the effects of war. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

My Beautiful Country paves its path in a pretty brutal manner. Actually, I felt pretty bad already in the opening scene that introduces the Ibar River and the relationships between the Serbians and Albanians. In general, the Balkans have been blessed with a multi-religious culture. You can’t take that away from them. Only I would love to see what things are really like today, since I keep running into more and more anti-war movies that intentionally point out the very absurdity of the conflict, which reaches as far back as the years after WW2. I felt really sad after I saw this movie. It really reminded me of No Man’s Land, which on top of everything ends on a very depressing note. You will have to wait to see the ending of this movie for yourselves, I don’t want to spoil the movie for you. Anyways, I tip my hat off to the author, who not only lived through this pile of human atrocities, but who also managed to make such a good movie about it. Whatever wars might be like, the essence of all religious conflicts of modern times begins in the Balkans. Where else can good friends shoot each other only because of religion…
