Ena, a journalist, arrives in the village, to film a story on heritage guardians. Through her camera lens she discovers a strange Man, secretly watching. His „hiding place“ has been exposed. Ilness and reality clash. In the house a threat appears, a wartime lover, with the message that the devil has come to collect his due. A stormy night and fateful encounters. To run or to fight and face it all? And return?

“Duran” is a story about the reality of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian society, about the forgotten workers and the peasants, about abandoned generations who get fired in their 50s, about dreams, love and friendship, crimes and punishment.

The plot takes place in pre-war Yugoslavia, and the protagonist, interpreted by Zvonko Lepetic, is Jefto, a prison guard who lives with his family as a tenant in a basement. The plot shows how, convinced that he is destined for great things, he betrays his family, a friend and subordinates everything to his vanity.

The action takes place in a Bosnian town during the Second World War and shows how anti-fascist illegals try to protect their intelligence network from the Germans and their Ustasha allies.
