SYNOPSIS

The action thriller, Serbian Scars, set in Belgrade, Chicago, and Kosovo, chronicles the complicated relationship and reunion of estranged brothers, Alex and Peter, and the forbidden love of a Serbian soldier (Alex Obilic) and a young Muslim woman. Alex, believing his father (Goran Obilic) to be at death’s door and in need of a bone marrow transplant, ventures from Serbia to Chicago, to find his brother, Peter, in an effort to save their dying dad. Peter escaped from Serbia with their mother years ago, leaving behind his brother and father to fight in the war.

With the help of an American CIA Operative, Alex finds his brother in Chicago. What Alex doesn't realize is that their father is being used as a tool by a terrorist named Dreq, who thinks that Peter holds the key to a devastating chemical weapon that their father developed under duress for the Soviets during the Cold War. Goran Obilic is prepared to sacrifice everything to make sure that the chemical weapon will never fall into terrorists’ hands.

Alex convinces his brother to return to Serbia, where they discover that Alex's Muslim girl friend has become a pawn in Dreq's deadly game. Secret alliances are revealed and hidden identities become known, as the brothers discover that Freedom’s Never Free.

Written and produced by Vladimir Rajcic, of VPR Entertainment, Serbian Scars is an independent film that received rave reviews from European press at its Belgrade, Serbia Premiere. Serbian Scars is opening to the public in AMC theatres on September 25, 2009.
