Twenty years after the end of The Bosnian War, concentration camp survivor Kemal Pervanic returns to his village to find a community still at war with itself. The events of that war continue to resonate as Kemal’s family and neighbours search for their loved ones while their former neighbours remain silent. When Kemal tracks down the school teacher who tortured him in the camps he is forced to ask if reconciliation can ever be possible while the perpetrators of terrible crimes are still free.
This important new film is much more than a story about one Bosnian village. It is a universal story of what happens to communities and friendships torn apart by conflict and how difficult it is to rebuild people’s lives. |
