What happens

260 Days (Croatian: 260 dana) is a 2025 Croatian-American English language war drama film based on 2011 autobiographical historical novel of the same name by Marijan Gubina, directed by Jakov Sedlar and script supervised by Barry Morrow. Novel and the movie are based on Gubina's (born 1981) experience of captivity in Serbian concentration camp for 260 days during Croatian War of Independence, from August 1, 1991, to April 16, 1992. During his imprisonment in the camp as a 10-year-old boy, Gubina was abused, forced to collect dead bodies and witnessed his sister's, Nena, rape several times.
