In a Sarajevo still scarred from the Yugo-slav wars, single mother Esma struggles to make ends meet. Sara, her young daughter, has a school trip coming up, yet the cost is high. But when Sara discovers that children of war heroes can travel for free, Esma must reveal the truth about Sara’s father.
Winner of the Golden Bear, the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival, this visceral “war” drama—focusing not on the conflict, but the aftermath—is told with both blunt force and cinematic finesse. Critically acclaimed upon release, it was selected as Bosnia’s official entry for the Academy Awards®.
