En un pequeno hospital provinciano aparece un paciente no identificado que ha perdido su memoria.
Ha sido encontrado cerca de un avion agrario que ha sufrido un accidente. En vez de su nombre, los
medicos lo matriculan por la denominacion de su diagnosis: Contusio Cerebris. Este “nombre”
extrano hace a los demas enfermos pensar, que el es piloto de la OTAN. Dia tras dia ellos componen
su biografia de un militar muy importante y rico. Al inicio el hombre no les cree, pero poco a poco eso
empieza a gustarle ...

In a small psychiatric ward situated in a former monastery and lost somewhere in the mountains in the Balkans, six patients and a very young doctor are left to their fate. In the winter they are completely snow-bound and lost to the world; left with out food, heating or pharmaceuticals. They even have to gather together in a single room, to avoid freezing to death.
At the fatal moment when the patients are facing their hungry and cold death, UN planes heading from Bosnia, having lost their way in a winter storm during the night, drop humanitarian aid by mistake. The parcels contain food and military uniforms for clothes.

The next morning one of the patients, a former military man, who has remained speechless for the past three years, approaches - shaved, trim and dapper in a military uniform. His compelling behaviour very quickly provokes the patients' military reflexes and they gradually remember life in the barracks, and eventually adapt themselves to it. The strict military discipline makes them forget their illness and transforms them into a combat military unit. In act of gratitude for UN assistance, they decide to join NATO. Dresses up as "Blue helmets" they start to western Europe...
