PRIVATE FRAGMENTS OF BOSNIA
|
PLOT: Svjetlana's best friend, Claudia, travels to Mostar and Sarajevo filming what she finds on her way. The words of her friend's night-long phone calls from the States are loud in her mind, while she searches for the elements that can make Svjetlana want to return home. 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 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. 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 Mostar. |
