Grandmother
What could be a beautiful fairy tale for some - boy meets girl - could also be the beginning of a horror film for Faruk.

Lo curioso de esta película es el hecho de que hasta trece cineastas van a aportar su pequeño granito de arena con la intención de mostrar varias perspectivas acerca de Sarajevo, exhibiendo con ello una serie de lecciones sobre los aspectos más ilusionantes pero también más crueles de dicho territorio en el viejo continente. La trama arranca en el desarrollo de la Primera Guerra Mundial, siguiendo a continuación con muchos de los sucesos ocurridos en uno de los puntos más destacados en lo que se refiere a la evolución histórica de Europa en el siglo XX.
Nana
The daily hardships of a war-scarred Bosnian village, where all that remains are widows and orphans, are painstakingly documented in this first feature from director Aida Begic. Snow offers insight about the psychological aftereffects of the 1992-95 civil war from a distinctively female point of view without showing any of the brutality or carnage.
A young journalist is sent to a small Bosnian town to interview people on happiness. He mixes up with local affair and has a romance with a student. He gets a shock when he finds out that he is going to be important due to childhood mumps.
