Just two years since Bosnia’s civil war hit the humble village of Tesanj, the town prepares for a goodwill visit from President Bill Clinton by ridding itself of its many whores, its drug trade, weapon caches, and the blatant lingering animosity toward Serbs. (Or, rather, it prepares by masquerading its brothel as a cultural center, stashing contraband weapons in a secret basement compartment, and temporarily shutting down its drug pushers.) One ruse follows another. And without a knowing hint of irony, a children’s chorus is to sing at Clinton’s arrival ceremony a ballad about a New Orleans brothel, “The House of the Rising Sun.”
The mayor will stop at nothing to prove to the visiting diplomat that his town is deserving of America’s blessings, financial and otherwise.
Zaim, the retired police chief, has alcoholic visions of his dead son Adnan, whose body's missing. Zaim eventually decides to turn himself into a human bomb and take Clinton hostage in order to retrieve his son.
