Thirst

The Serbian travel entrepreneur Zoran Slavković is threatened in anonymous letters containing quotes from Ivo Andrić. He hires a young, down-and-out writer who poses as a detective to find the author of the letters. However, before he can begin his investigation, Slavković is already dead, executed in a manner reminiscent of the announced Ottoman style. His widow wants the supposed detective to continue the investigation. The search for clues soon leads him into the drug and red-light scene and into money laundering circles of respectable Swiss society. Additionally, he encounters a woman, from whom he soon desires more than he is willing to admit. While politicians gather signatures for the initiative "Naturalizations to the People" and the football World Cup kicks off in France, the writer-detective becomes increasingly entangled in the unresolved past of the Bosnian War.
