The Game-Bag U.S. PREMIERE

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 Serbo-Croatian war. Gripping and intense, this horrific piece of fiction makes us realize how vulnerable we are to our unpredictably changing world.
