What happens

Witnesses (Croatian: Svjedoci) is a Croatian drama film directed by Vinko Brešan. It was released in 2003. The film's screenplay is based on Jurica Pavičić's 1997 novel Ovce od gipsa, which was in turn inspired by a real-life case of murder of the Zec family in Zagreb in 1991. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
