I am fascinated by everyday life, but compared to war, it can seem ordinary, non-dramatic, evenbanal. Yet when the surface of this everyday life is scratched, the whole power of human emotions -- past, present and future -- starts to leak out.
Grbavica is first of all a story about LOVE. About love that is not pure, because it has been mixed with hate, disgust, trauma, despair. It΄s also about VICTIMS who, though they did not com-mit any crime, they are still not entirely innocent in relation to future generations. Grbavica is also about TRUTH, a cosmic power necessary to progress, and very much needed by society in Bosnia and Herzegovina who must strive to reach maturity.
