Set amid the atrocities of war in the Balkans, "Witnesses" is retold, Roshoman-style, from various characters' viewpoints, adding new information about the complexity of war and humanity. Beginning inside a rustic house with a woman in black (Mirjana Karanovic) standing beside her husband's coffin, "Witnesses" interweaves the stories of a small town confronting ethnic hatred and deep moral ambiguities.
