Realizing the deadly mistake, the officers – including the cynical and corrupt Lieutenant Colonel Orbina (Bogdan Diklić) – decide to cover it up. They dress the dead shepherd in a stolen Yugoslav uniform, claim he was a terrorist, and invent an entire fictional battle. They shoot at nothing, write fake combat reports, and even plant “enemy” weapons.
One night, Lieutenant Pašić (Toni Gojanović), a young, sensitive officer, is left in command. During a drunken, amateurish attempt to impress a local woman, the soldiers accidentally fire a rocket flare. In the ensuing panic, a soldier fires his rifle, and a rumor starts that the Albanians are attacking. The terrified soldiers then accidentally kill an innocent Albanian shepherd crossing the border.
★★★★☆ (4/5) – A sharp, intelligent, and bitterly funny classic of post-Yugoslav cinema.
