THE GAME-BAG (IL CANIERE) Official Competition

Three friends on their way from Italy to one of the
most beautiful game reserves on the Balkan peninsula
expect their annual rendezvous with the chief huntsman.
But this time something has gone awry – the huntsman is
nowhere to be found. The only person there is his young
beautiful daughter who reluctantly leads them to the
hunting ground in his place. As night falls, movement in
the brush causes the group to become restless. Suddenly,
shots ring out.
This is only the beginning of their nightmare, as the
hunters become the hunted, in the midst of the first
skirmishes of a strange, little war – what is about to
become a bloodbath of biblical proportions, the SerboCroatian
war.
Gripping and intense, this horrific piece of fiction
makes us realize how vulnerable we are to our
unpredictably changing world.
