FLEE ACROSS THE BLACK SKY,
PEOPLE ARE SILENT,
MY BLOOD ACHES FROM WAITING
		MESA SELIMOVIC


Set against a background of political turbulence in Macedonia and 
contemporary London, three love stories intertwine to create a powerful 
portrait of modern Europe in Milcho Mancevski's BEFORE THE RAIN.

When a mysterious incident in the fabled Macedonian mountains blows out 
of proportion, it treatens to start a civil war, and brings together a 
silent monk, a London picture editor, and a disillusioned war 
photographer in a tragic tale of fated lovers.  Told in three parts, and 
linked by characters and events, BEFORE THE RAIN explores the 
uncompromising nature of war as it ravages the lives of unsuspecting, and 
forces the innocent to take sides...
