Zgodba filma se odvija se v sarajevskem hotelu, kjer v organizaciji Evropske unije prirejajo svečano večerjo ob stoletnici začetka prve svetovne vojne. Po dolgem času hotel spet deluje s polno kapaciteto, vendar pa banka zahteva poravnavo dolgov in zaposleni pripravljajo stavko prav v času, ko prihajajo častni gostje. Če večer propade, bo propadel tudi hotel. Direktor hotela skuša preprečiti stavko s pomočjo mafijca, ki upravlja striptiz bar v kleti, istočasno pa se v improviziranem televizijskem studiu odvija poseben program, posvečen stoletnici sarajevskega atentata. Dogajanje prekine neobičajen gost: Gavrilo Princip. -Kolosej

Sarajevo on 28 of June, 2014. At the Hotel Europa, the best hotel in town, the manager Omer prepares to welcome a delegation of diplomatic VIPs. On the centenary of the assassination that is considered to have led to World War I, an appeal for peace and understanding is supposed to start from here. But the hotel staff have other worries: having not been paid for months, they are planning to go on strike. Hatidza from the hotel laundry is elected strike leader even though her daughter Lamija, who works in reception, is firmly against industrial action. Meanwhile, in the sealed-off presidential suite, a guest from France rehearses a speech. Elsewhere, a television reporter conducts interviews about war and its consequences. Was Gavrilo Princip, the 1914 assassin, a criminal or a national hero? What long shadow does his deed cast into the present?

Danis Tanović, whose An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker screened in Competition at the Berlinale in 2013, offers a satirical parable about political dreams and nightmares. His Hotel Europa, which he portrays from its cellar passageways right up to its sunlit roof terrace, becomes an arena of hope, violence and death. -Berlinale
