Bomblight
When a famous American comic book artist gets trapped in Belgrade during the NATO bombing of Serbia, a collective of local punks must decide whether to rescue him, turn him in, use him, love him or hate him. Ultimately, it’s up to two young students to determine the fate of this “enemy artist” they idolize - and the fate of their new world. Bomblight is a rollicking story of sex, war, friendship, fandom, and comic books - a modern Jules and Jim taking place during the first war to be experienced simultaneously live and online.
