United Brothers

TV SERIES 1996 1 SEASON

Overview

Taking place just after the end of Bosnian War, the series is mostly set in a kafana named Složna braća owned by Halimić brothers and located on a small patch of UN-controlled territory (covering 0.0657 km2) not claimed by any of the three warring sides. Serbs, Bosniaks, and Croats, otherwise very hostile to each other following a ferocious civil war, regularly visit the said kafana in no man's land in order to arrange mutual black market activities (weapons and food trade, oil and cigarette smuggling, etc.). When the word gets around about an important weapons shipment passing through the territory that can supposedly completely change the division of power in the Balkans, the place becomes a lively hub of espionage, deal making, and skulduggery.

This production, originally released in 1996, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Miniseries series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Comedy, War & Politics genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 7.4 across its 1 season.
