Movie Synopsys:

Gavrilo Princip’s assassination of the Austrian heir to the throne, Franz Ferdinand, in June 1914 had far-reaching historical consequences. According to some historians, it was the immediate cause of the First World War.

So far, about 3000 books and studies on this political murder have been published. This film gives the first authentic rendering of the events in 1914, when Ferdinad and his wife, Sophie, came on an official visit to Sarajevo.

The film is based upon the personal drama of one of the men who participated in the plot, and whose cataclysmic life began during those dramatic days in 1914 and ended with the end of the Second World War.
