Before the Rain

In this Macedonian film nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 1995 Academy Awards, the circularity of violence is seen in a story that circles on itself. In Macedonia, during the war in Bosnia, Christians hunt an ethnic Albanian girl who may have murdered one of their own. A young monk who's taken a vow of silence offers her protection. In London, a photographic editor who's pregnant needs to talk it out with her estranged husband and chooses a toney restaurant.
