Most are middle-aged former Nazis. They arrive at a village populated solely by women who avoid contact with the men. 20 years earlier the Germans murdered all the males in the village. The choir tries to lighten the mood with a German song, but then avoidance is replaced by hostility. When asking to buy bread they are referred to a woman who gives them a box with 437 empty bullet shells, leftover from the murders. By using a book, "Yugoslavian for tourists" a young boy makes contact with a woman who became mentally ill then. She misunderstands his words and thinks that she will get her son back if she will bake bread. Meanwhile the men steal and slaughter a pig. The women then throw their car down a mountainside. On the next day the choir and the women reconcile. A priest from a nearby village finds a car that the men may borrow for one day. Since their own car is insured they do not report the women. When they leave, the mentally ill woman runs after them to give them the bread she has baked. Written by Max Scharnberg, Stockholm, Sweden See less
