The film reveals the unknown and dark side of the events that took place in the Zagreb Fair compound in autumn 1991, when the war started. Originally converted into a mobilization center for reserve police units, the pavilion soon became a transit prison camp for all suspects, mostly ethnic Serbs. Many of them were taken to Pakračka Poljana and executed there by the so-called Merčep unit.
