The Balkans, 1995: Fighting has wound down and peace talks have begun, but problems still confront Mambrú (Benicio Del Toro) and his colleagues at NGO Aid Across Borders, including Tim Robbins, Olga Kurylenko and Mélanie Thierry. Tasked with removing a corpse from a well and decontaminating its water, their progress is impeded by roads laced with unexploded land mines, untrusting villagers, gun-toting bandits and bureaucratic red tape. A fine seriocomic warzone tale from Fernando León de Aranoa (MONDAYS IN THE SUN, PRINCESAS), with strong performances from its outstanding cast. Official Selection, 2015 Cannes, London Film Festivals. DIR/SCR/PROD Fernando León de Aranoa; SCR from the novel “Dejarse llover” by Paula Farias. Spain, 2015, color, 106 min, DCP. In English. NOT RATED
