No Man Is an Island is a portrait of a group of young men from across Yugoslavia who were summoned, just a few years before the country’s breakup and the start of its wars, to the island of Vis to complete their military service in the Yugoslav National Army. In a small military post on the edge of the island, away from civilisation. At the time, the number of military objects on Vis gave the island its name: “the Fortress of the Adriatic”.
How do the former soldiers remember the time now, more than 30 years later?
