The World War II is underway in Yugoslavia. A young child, fleeing from the fascist unit that killed the child's parents and burned their village - finds temporary shelter in the house of a stranger: the Albanian Nur Doka. There is another significant difference between them: the child is Christian and Nur is Muslim. During the war in Yugoslavia - this fact often marked the line between life and death. Nur, the host of the house, confronts the profound moral dilemma, as his home comes under intense siege by fascist forces: - whether to hand over the child to the persecutors, thereby compromising his deep-rooted beliefs and personal code, or - to endanger the safety of own family by saving a young foreigner of another religion and nation? When Nur runs out of options, he is faced with a choice that will challenge his principles and define his legacy, and THE QUESTION IS: WHAT WILL NUR DO?*Set against the backdrop of World War II, this film unfolds over 36 intense hours along the Montenegrin border in Yugoslavia. Through the story of one individual who dares to stand against his own people, this film inspires change. In a world where warring factions today relentlessly strive for mutual destruction, this narrative carries a powerful message and emphasizes humanity as the greatest triumph over violence and destruction. In times of war, being human becomes our most vital mission. IN TIMES OF WAR, HUMANITY MATTERS MORE THAN EVER!
