Waffenstillstand<br />

CEASEFIRE<br />

Baghdad. The war is officially over, the situation still disastrous.<br />

The supply of food and medicine to Fallujah has<br />

collapsed. Americans and rebels manage to agree to a 24hour<br />

ceasefire.<br />

Kim, a Dutch worker for an international relief organization,<br />

teams up with the young <strong>German</strong> journalist Oliver,<br />

who hopes for a scoop, to organize an aid transport. Kim<br />

is hell-bent to get blood units and medication into Fallujah,<br />

but the transport has to return within the 24 hours or face<br />

the consequences.<br />

Oliver’s experienced cameraman Ralf is pessimistic about<br />

the plan while Husam, the local driver, has his own hidden<br />

agenda. Joining them is Alain Laroche, one of the last doctors<br />

in the zone.<br />

The five take to the road through a devastated country.<br />

Overcoming severe obstacles, they make it to Fallujah,<br />

where the situation is dire. Desperate, they decide to take<br />

as many wounded back to Baghdad as they can. But will<br />

they make it before the 24 hours are up?<br />
