In the romantic drama, a Serbian man (Goran Kostic) falls in love with a Bosnian-Muslim woman (Zana Marjanovic) before 1992's Bosnian War separates them.

"The film is specific to the Bosnian War, but it's also universal," Jolie has said. "I wanted to tell a story of how human relationships and behavior are deeply affected by living in side a war."

Radar writes, "As an example of the similarities between the story he published and the storyline of the film, the lawsuit states, 'The Subject Work's main female character is subject to continuous abuse and rape by soldiers and officers in the camp. In addition to being raped continuously by soldiers and officers, she is forced to become a servant at the camp headquarters, a duty assumed by very few of the captives. The Motion Picture?s main female character is also subject to continuous rape by soldiers and officers in the camp and subsequently becomes a servant at camp headquarters.'"

"In the Land of Blood and Honey" is Jolie's second directorial project and her debut as a screenwriter.
