APACHES

In the south of Kosovo, in a valley close to the border with Macedonia, there is a Serb enclave of twelve villages. Two of them are somewhat protected by their central position, while the others do not enjoy the same privilege. Their exposure became more evident with the civil war and its effects on the ethnic relationships. Since 1999, the inhabitants of these villages live in almost complete isolation. All the roads connecting them with the outside world cross Kosovar territory, and are therefore dangerous and not safe for Serbs. Thus, a simple journey becomes an adventure, as they must travel in convoys, under the protection of KFOR armed forces. The film presents another type of victim of the Kosovo war, and scrutinizes the absurdities brought by ethnic conflicts into people's lives.
