This drama follows the activities of Muslims in a Bosnian village as they prepare for and put on a traditional marriage ceremony for one of their own. This is the first feature film by the director, who usually makes documentaries, and it has a documentary flavor. This film is particularly important because, since the outbreaks of violence in the Balkans, traditional life as shown here has been disrupted to a very great extent. In a sense, even though this is a drama rather than a documentary, this film is an important historical document of a bygone age.
