In a time when the civil war in Bosnia rages at its’ worst, a 21-year-old Norwegian medical officer is tasked with leading the evacuation of a handful of children from a hospital in Gorazde.

What first seems like yet another routine mission for a UN medical platoon quickly changes to a life-altering event for the young man and his squad. In a city bombed to pieces, they find a hospital that looks ready to collapse. And a basement filled with hundreds of patients.

Over a number of highly dramatic days, the medical platoon saves around 300 patients via air, all while being surrounded by forces that are attacking the city. This is the story of a remarkable real-life event and of a young man being forced to make decisions in situations way beyond what could reasonably be expected of him. It’s a story about friendship and courage but also about luck and bad decisions. And about the paradox of trying to impose peace without becoming a warrior.
