"Оккупация в 26 картинах" — анатомия безумия, реваншизма, ненависти и отсуствия моральных принципов в обличии фашизма. Веселая жизнь троих друзей — итальянца, хорвата и еврея — в сказочном довоенном Дубровнике внезапно прервана шумом боевых самолетов. Неминуемость выбора приводит к конфликту естественных ценностей, противопоставляя семью интимным чувствам, делая греховным даже зачатие на фоне торжествующей смерти — ибо носителем смерти оно порождено.

Идиллия беззаботного существования обеспеченной молодежи превращается в выстрел, приносящий на жертвенный алтарь истории отношения, эпоху и, в конце концов, жизнь.

О судьбах этих переселенцев-крестьян, по зову своего правительства отправившихся строить новую жизнь, и рассказывает фильм.
