PRIVATE FRAGMENTS OF BOSNIA

Svjetlana left Bosnia in 1992 just after the start of the war. She lost her roots, effects and dreams and is afraid of returning. Claudia’s desire is to have her friend close to her once more and to free her from the obsession of the tragic events that obliged her to leave. She thinks this journey will help her convince Svjetlana to return. The narration develops through the telephone conversations, family archives and the material shot by Claudia in the troubled Bosnia of today. Mostar, the battered town where the ethnical divide is still intense, the graves and landmines in the region and the once multi-cultured and joyfull town of Sarajevo.
