Set in the dark, eerie streets of medieval Split, Croatia, during the two hours before midnight on New Years eve, this stylish film noir spins several tales of desire, treachery and murder. While crowds gather in the ancient city square for a rock concert, the stories of a young couple plotting a rendezvous, an addict desperate for a fix, a widow and her grieving child, and three drunken American sailors (one played by American rap musician Coolio) become fatally intertwined.
