In Visoko, a far-flung town in the heart of Bosnia, there are two
hills that look like pyramids. More than two years ago, Semir Osmanagic,
an American businessman originally from Bosnia, arrived in this
small village claiming that the hills surrounding the town were
actually covering pyramids that are thousands of years old, the
last evidence of the legendary historic greatness of Bosnia. From
that moment, life in Visoko was never the same. And Semir has become
a celebrity. A true national hero. Semir and his pyramids arrived
just in time. Bosnia was more in need than ever of a great man and
a great tradition that could give importance to a country deeply
wounded and martyred by war. This film is a human comedy that, between
its light and at times bitter tones, recounts a year in the life
of this microcosm just after the pyramid discovery.
