The unresolved murder of Krsto �urović, a Montenegrin Rear Admiral of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) who refused to attack Dubrovnik during the war in 1991, highlights the elusive nature of justice in the Balkans in the 21st century. It also reveals how society treats moral decisions when honor prevails over heroism.

The film "Rear Admiral" examines stereotypes about heroism and honor through the example of Krsto �urović, a Rear Admiral of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) who refused to obey the order to bomb Dubrovnik at the very beginning of the war in Croatia. �urović was killed under unexplained and still uninvestigated circumstances in a staged helicopter crash while flying over Konavle near the Croatian border, just a few days after refusing the order. Shortly after the crash, a new commander was appointed, and the city of Dubrovnik was attacked with unabated ferocity.

Nerazjašnjeno ubistvo Krsta Đurovića, crnogorskog kontraadmirala JNA koji je odbio da napadne Dubrovnik 1991, pokazuje koliko je pravda nedostižna na savremenom Balkanu.

Film "Kontraadmiral" ispituje stereotipe o junaštvu i časti kroz primjer Krste Đurovića, kontraadmirala Jugoslovenske narodne armije (JNA) koji je odbio da posluša naredbu da bombarduje Dubrovnik na samom početku rata u Hrvatskoj. Đurović je poginuo pod neobjašnjivim i još uvijek neistraženim okolnostima u insceniranom padu helikoptera dok je letio iznad Konavala u blizini hrvatske granice, samo nekoliko dana nakon što je odbio naredbu. Ubrzo nakon nesreće, imenovan je novi komandant, a grad Dubrovnik je napadnut sa nesmanjenom žestinom.
