Exit Through the Cuckoo's Nest

In this essay film the author tells his own story as a soldier who never wanted to be one. From detours away from the front line, to psychiatry back home. “When the blue envelope arrived, the call to go to Kosovo, the only thing I knew was that I would never ever shoot. However, I had to get on the train to war. Many of my comrades died, some of them killed themselves afterwards. I was the lucky one: always refused to shoot, ending up in military prison, found a way out of it as a translator but then had my breakdown which brought me (on purpose) to psychiatry. Acting mentally ill for months, finally I could go back home."
