A song to a Polish war movie from 1998. The title of the film Demony wojny wedlug Goi (Demons of War by Goya) is a reference to a series of drawings/paintings made in the early XIX century by the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, which show the brutality of war, and mans inhumanity to man. The story follows an IFOR peacekeeping force in Bosnia, with the action taking place in February 1996 as the war was coming to an end. The peacekeeping unit is commanded by Major Keller - a hunky taciturn sort of commander who is under investigation for his part in saving a Polish mercenary from a lynching. With only hours remaining to Kellers command, the base receives a call from a Norwegian chopper with Polish soldiers on board. Breaking orders yet again, Keller orders a rescue attempt for his imperilled compatriots. Major Kusz, soon to be his replacement, tags along so he can report on Kellers reckless mission and shed light on his behaviour for the on-going investigation into his style of command. Although the soldiers fellow countrymen have all been killed, they do manage to rescue a French journalist, who attracts more attention from the guerrillas operating in the hills than seems normal to Keller. He and the unit soon find themselves in the middle of political intrigue as well as flying bullets. https://youtube/watch?v=OOYO4dpHpJA
