As some of the Yugoslav Wars are coming to a close in 1995, a group of aid workers try to get rid of a body that’s been thrown down a well to poison it. An unusual look at the practical problems, tragedies and dangers facing a disparate group of aid workers in a war zone. Done with a sense of humor, the comedy is uneven but there’s a charm to it that makes us grow to care about these people. The characters’ personal issues are often clichéd, and when all is said and done you may wonder what exactly did we learn from this… but it’s a terrific cast and the contrived ending is irresistibly bittersweet.
