Eine Annäherung an den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof für das ehemalige Jugoslawien.
Auf einer Radtour nach Den Haag singen wir ein Lied, dessen Text auf unseren Recherchen zum ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia) basiert.
Melodie und Setting sind von dem Film 'Ko to tamo peva' inspiriert, einer schwarzen Komödie, die mit der Bombardierung Belgrads durch die deutsche Wehrmacht endet.
