It is 1995, just after the end of the Bosnian War. Mahir (Ermin Bravo) is a 38-year-old refugee living with hundreds of other Bosnians in a hotel-turned-makeshift shelter. His monastic existence is upended when a local high school student named Una (Nika Grbelja) initiates a complicated romance with him – but their connection cannot withstand the ghosts of Mahir’s past and pull of Una’s future. Award-winning documentarian Andrej Korovljev recreates the resort town of his youth for this compelling drama about the possibility of redemption and the precious spark of human connection.
