The Lost People

Set in a German theatre after the Second World War, The Lost People depicts the struggles of two British soldiers managing a group of hostile refugees. The film highlights the rivalries among Serbs, Croats, resistance fighters, and collaborators, illustrating the tension and divisions of the era.
