"In the Land of Blood and Honey is a film directed and written by Angelina Jolie that tackles a delicate subject: the violent Bosnian War. In the story, during the conflict, Bosnian Ajla is taken along with other women to a Serbian barracks to serve the soldiers. A commander recognizes Ajla, whom he met at a nightclub and courted, and begins to secretly protect her. They rekindle their love, but can they trust each other? This question drives the film's narrative, exploring themes of love and mistrust in equal measure, leading to an inevitably tragic fate."
