Summaries

Coming from France, a couple in crisis offers themselves a second honeymoon on an island off the Balkans, without knowing that a civil war is brewing in the region.

In an attempt to heal the wound of the knife he gave to the back of his marital fidelity, a small winegrower from Bordeaux has the idea of taking his wife, an oenologist, Andalusian and jealous at the same time, on a pilgrimage to the small hotel-club on a Mediterranean island off the Balkans which, 13 years earlier, had sheltered their honeymoon. The idea could have been good, even characteristic, if this paradisaical island was not in fact a powder keg. As soon as the couple settles in this romantic vacation spot, they are faced with a conflict that is far more dangerous than their intimate quarrels: a civil war - In the company of a small group of tourists, they are going to find themselves and will have to live a huis-clos in the stress where their preoccupations of privileged vacationers do not have any more court. Human beings that nothing would have brought together will have to cohabit. Nervous breakdowns, psychodramas of all kinds, facts of war will lead our heroes into a series of tragicomic adventures.
