A journey into the memory of Bosnia. Stories from the daily life of Muslim families marked by war in different ways. A continuous path of self-awareness between the horror of a genocide and the memory of an ethnic cleansing beyond time.
A nation stuck between a desire for rebirth and pushes towards nationalism, in a still-present transition between past and future. Where suffering, hopes and black humor outline the features of a common Bosnian identity, born or perhaps only survived in the ashes of the former Yugoslavia.
