This is a very chaotic, but very nice movie. It tells the story of a whole bunch of different people who, in one way or another, are or will be connected with the war in Bosnia. Most of the characters are in London. Most of them are British citizens. Some of them are refugees from former Yugoslavia. In the background there's also the qualifier match between Holland and England for the World Championship Football of 1994, witch England lost. As a result England did not qualify. On his way back one of the characters, an English hooligan, even winds up right in the middle of the Bosnian war, and by accident becomes some kind of a war hero! As the film continues we learn how all these people are connected with each other. It's all told with a lot of speed and a lot of humor. Nevertheless the film deals with some pretty heavy subjects. As a whole it's one big plea for tolerance and understanding between people. One remark: the film is a bit to long in the end. It looks as if the director could not make his mind up how to end it. I voted an 8.
