Angelina Jolie is set to make her directing and screenwriting debut for an upcoming film: a romance set against the Bosnian War. According to US Weekly, Angelina will not act in the movie.

According to British film company GK Films’ press release, the untitled film’s cast will be comprised solely of “various ethnicities of the former Yugoslavia.”

The Oscar-winning star and mother of six will also serve as producer on the film, which she described as “a love story, not a political statement,” in a statement issued by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for which she’s goodwill ambassador. “I would like to involve as many local people as possible and learn as much as I can.”

Jolie was photographed scouting for locations in Budapest, Hungary over the weekend — with 2-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox as her companions; she also made a stop in Sarajevo, Bosnia, meeting with leaders there about the plight of war refugees.
