EXIT THROUGH THE CUCKOO’S NEST
A story of a soldier who never wanted to be one. His decision never to pull a trigger led to resistance and ultimately to military prison. Pretending to be mentally ill, he leaves the war zone and returns to Belgrade via the insane asylum, on the day NATO begins bombing the entire country.
