After a traumatic experience in Kosovo, soldier Lasko resigns from the KFOR peacekeeping force. He retires as a monk in a monastery .

criticism
“Director Diethard Küster shot this rather dumb story, but it knows how to convince with sophisticated action scenes. That is not always a matter of course with German productions. "
