Dado Bratović, cartoonist, was born in Sarajevo in 1975. His mother died at childbirth, and his father’s identity went to the grave with her. The whole mother’s family disowned Dado and so Dado grew up in a home for children with special needs. He ran away from home to the street when he turned 14. At the beginning of the war, Dado voluntarily enlists in the army, and even though he is a minor, he participates in the most difficult battles. After the bloody battle on Otes, Dado dissapears. After the war, in 1996, he went to get his identity card and found out that he had been reported dead in 1992. And this is where the movie begins.
