Synopsis
Besieged Sarajevo, 1995.
The inhabitants have now been living under the siege for three years and their daily life has become a nightmare due to the shellfire and the snipers.
While many are joining the fights, another form of resistance is rising: culture allows people to claim their humanity. While listening to a concert, watching a play or a film, people forget the isolation, the noise of the bombs and starvation.
In this atmosphere of humanitarian and artistic emergency, the industrial punk band Laibach and the artists of NSK ("Neue Slowenische Kunst", New Slovenian Art) traveled across burning ex-Yugoslavia to Sarajevo to proclaim the city as a territory of the NSK State in Time. They performed two shows, and gave away passports that helped the locals to get out the city.
