South Herzegovina, 1991. After the fall of communism, the moment has arrived for Divko Buntic to return to the village he had to leave 20 years previously. The country has however now acquired a new democratic government, as a result of which everyone who made life difficult for Buntic under the communist regime has suddenly been forgiven. He decides to take his revenge with small-scale harassment, assisted by his black cat, his girlfriend who is 40 years younger and the fortune he earned as an exile in Germany. At first things seem to go well, but then Buntic is overtaken by reality.
Cirkus Columbia is set on the eve of the first Bosnian war, and Danis Tanovic (No Man's Land) shows with flair and precision the struggle between the inhabitants and their fiery character. They give the country its unmistakable beauty and wealth, but also seem to shape its capricious history.
