Description

It s just another day on the job for a band of badass combat zone rescue workers as they defy death and confront war s absurdities. The setting is 1995, somewhere in the Balkans. Over the course of 24 breathless hours, Mambrú (Benicio del Toro), leads his team of humanitarians including hard-bitten, wisecracking veteran B (Tim Robbins) and new recruit Sophie (Melanie Thierry) as they deal with a most unexpected crisis, layers of bureaucratic red tape, and the reappearance of Mambrú s old flame (Olga Kurylenko). Through it all, the group handles the less-than-glamorous realities of life in a combat zone the only way they know how: with selfless bravery and a healthy dose of irreverent humor.
