DESERTERS

A hybrid documentary essay about a generation of Bosnian and Herzegovinian high schoolers from the town of Mostar, struck by a devastating war on the verge of their maturity. This tapestry of memories of the early nineties is composed of modern-day postcards and silent shots of places where wars used to be waged and which the film protagonists were forced to abandon. The serenity of these places today is in contrast with the emotional excerpts from the letters from refugee camps scattered all over Europe. A film about a lost generation, exile, difficult choices and an answer to the toughest question of any war: to stay or to run?
