Veteran aid workers Mambrú ((Benicio del Toro), B (Tim Robbins) and newcomer Sophie (Melanie Thierry), accompanied by their interpreter Damir (Fedja Å tukan), try to retrieve a corpse from a well somewhere in former Yugoslavia in the end of the 'Yugoslav War'.

Their first attempt fails because their rope tears, so they set out to find another rope, which turns out to be more difficult than expected.
They are joined in their endeavor by Mambrú's former lover Katya (Olga Kurylenko) and a young local boy named Nikola. They must outwit pedantic UN bureaucrats, military factions and exploitative local criminals, the team and their guide negotiate the seemingly simple task of extracting a dead body from a well, but staying sane proves to be the biggest challenge.

REVIEW :

Very realistic drama film enabling the audience to face thre harsh world of humanitarian workers and conflict zones provoking civil wars with dramatic casualties. With lots of humour, the actors embodied perfectly their parts. Brilliant perfomances !
