Kroz Granje Nebo (The Sky Through the Trees) is set during WWII. The story focuses on a group of seriously wounded Yugoslav freedom fighters. The only available medical aid is from the German army, but to turn themselves over to the Nazis would mean instant execution for the partisans. The drama arises from the underground fighters' efforts to avoid capture by the enemy, even as their lives slowly ebb away. It shouldn't be surprising that the performances of the actors playing the partisans are more convincing than those of the German soldiers, who are drawn in broad, heavy-handed Hogan's Heroes strokes.
