In 1972, a dart on a map of Europe changes the life of Congolese–Belgian musician Jack Roskam: he moves to Yugoslavia. After a successful career as a guitar player in a well-known local band, Galija, he is confronted with the Balkan war. While his colleagues starts to sing pro-Serbian songs, Jack exchanges his Fender guitar for a Kalashnikov and joins the Croatian army. In 2008, Jack returns to Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia to meet the former members of Galija for the first time since the war. Will the shared past win over the memories of war?

The story of a peculiar media dwarf, the dream of cyber gamers, waiting for the UFOs, and a Congolese-Belgian man fighting in the Serbian war. The programme of the Dutch Film Weekend included documentaries, too, of stunning themes, parallel to short features and features.
