What happens to people years after they suffered horrific acts and witnessed devastating events that ruined their lives? This movie looks at Bosnians after the 1992-95 war, trying to get around to very uncomfortable feelings that have been marginalized or repress many years after the war, but are still present everywhere in society... This is very difficult to do, but the film is a brave attempt to do that, by talking to people, which gives the war and the horror a kind of immediacy and shocking humanity -- and just for that it deserves to be seen.
However, it is also fair to say that viewers who are total "outsiders" will probably miss a lot or misunderstand the point of the film... If you don't have a general sense of what happened in Bosnia 19992-1995 (like a previous reviewer of this film), you will probably come away confused, shocked, and wary of the raw emotions of this film. Obviously, it is NOT a documentary about the Yugoslav wars, or about different sides or armies, but it is about how people, specifically individuals in Sarajevo and in other parts of Bosnia, felt like when the war ended, but the wars memories and impact lived on. And it deals wih that very well, should be seen.
