The recently retired Gianni has many things to worry about, but romance is not one of them. At least not until his friend Alfonso decides to reacquaint him with the “salt of life”. But poor Gianni is like an old, rusty car: the engine might still be rolling, but more is needed to get him back on the road… Director-actor Gianni Di Gregorio convincingly plays the lead in this autobiographically tinted, bittersweet, sparkling comedy. Italian spoken.

In 1991, on the outskirts of Tenja, Josip Reihl Kir – the chief of the Osijek Police Department, a man dedicated to negotiations and avoiding war – was assassinated. Peacemaker is a story about the last few months of his life, in the dawn of the bloodthirsty Croatian-Serbian war, which Kir had been trying hard to prevent, told through the statements of a few witnesses and archive materials from the era. Many elements of that assassination still remain unclear.
