The Melon Route
6.7
During an illegal immigrant smuggling operation on the Croatian-Bosnian border, war veteran and smuggler Mirko saves a seemingly nameless Chinese woman from drowning, bringing her into his home to help her recover. Over time, their relationship becomes closer and more personal and makes Mirko the target of Spider and Seki, two ruthless crime lords who run the human trafficking operations in the area.
