Dalibor Matanić’in son filmi, geçmişe uzanan etnik nefretin ayırdığı iki komşu Balkan köyünde otuz yıla yayılan bir aşk hikâyesini anlatıyor. Güneş Tepedeyken, yasak aşkın kırılganlığı üzerine bir film. 1991’de geçen ilk hikâyede çılgınlığın, kafa karışıklığının ve korkunun kol gezdiği savaş öncesi dönemde aşk, yasak bir lükstür ve komşu köylerden iki genç insan aralarındaki ilişkiyi saklamakta zorlanır. 2001’de geçen ikinci hikâyede bu sefer aşıklar, sevdalarını içinde bulundukları duruma uydurmakta zorlanırlar. Savaşın yaralarını henüz saramamışlardır. 2011’de geçen üçüncü hikâyede ise aşıklarımız ancak geçmişlerinden kurtulabilirlerse bir araya gelebileceklerdir. Kötülük ve şüphe hala hayatlarının bir parçasıdır; ama her şeye yeniden başlamak için şansları vardır.
