ABOUT THE MOVIE

Matija and Bojan grew up together. Their friendship was abruptly broken when Bojan and his family left the apartment overnight, without saying goodbye. It was in the early 1990s. They were among the ‘ineligible’, the ones of the wrong nationality. Too young to understand the war situation or why he lost a friend, Matija decided to look for him 15 years later.
