“Don’t waste your bullets, I am immortal” is written on the car of French war correspondent Paul Marchand (Niels Schneider) as he ruthlessly drives through Sarajevo – in 1992, seven months after the siege began. A Cuban cigar dangling his mouth, he moves through the besieged city with a mixture of fearlessness, provocative arrogance and journalistic sense of duty. He reports directly from battle, attends United Nations press conferences, drinks and smokes with the small war reporter community at the hotel, visits the black market, the Bosnian and Serb checkpoints, the morgue and gets to know the local music scene. When he falls in love with a local fixer (Ella Rumpf), his journalistic independence begins to crumble until one day he crosses the line and takes sides.
