Five years ago, the whole world watched the trial of Radovan Karadžić. But what is the story of the man who defended this Serbian war criminal as well as Slobodan Milošević? The filmmaker looks not only at the reasons that led Marko to act as defence counsel, but also explores the often negative reactions from his surroundings and the chilling impact that the study of war-related documents and the search for the truth has had on him.
