10/10
Masterpiece
24 January 2013
I have just saw the movie,it's really one of best that come from the Balkans,the story is centered in west Bosnia,the most actors and actress are Bosnians,but it's directed and produced by Croatians(west neighbors)

The story is about 2-3 families in a small village,telling how they lived before the war,showing us the differences in two religious families(Serbs and Bosnian Muslims)but also showing us that they have the same mentality.

Slavomir(Serb) and Safija(Bosnian Muslim) fell in love and she gets pregnant and that can't accept their families. That's why Safija runs to aunt Halima and the new born child gives to her telling the family that the child was dead born. 2 years later Slavomir comes from Germany and meets Safija,they both flee to a far places and begun a new life. But war comes ,Slavomir is recruited to the Serbian army.....many things happens during the war that will leave aftermath to both families.

The rest(and the most) of the movie continues after 5 years at the end of war,Halima is searching for the bones of 'son' Mirza,and Slavomir is melancholy drinking every day at the tavern,Safija is living with Slavomir and they 3 children....

What are they secrets and what will be with them at the end ?

I don't want tell that,watch the movie, it's really a masterpiece,one of the best movies i ever saw.Thanks to our west neighbors for this story and i want to wish you good luck ,i hope this movie will get some awards on international movie competitions. 10/10
