Das Jahr nach Dayton

The first year of peace in Bosnia is depicted through some Bosnians, who are possibly representative of their young country, which is held together mainly through foreign influence. This is a human story played out on the background of a war which still makes itself felt, a story of possible life together, which has on the other hand become impossible in many cases, and the changes to come in 1996. Rajko, the Serbian mechanic, and his family must leave their home for the second time, as it is located in an area which has come under the control of the Muslim-Croatian federation in accordance with the “Dayton Agreement”. Nermin, the actor, lost both legs in the war and might have a chance to learn a new role. Halid, a shepherd from a small village near Novi Travnik in the Muslim-controlled region, risks his life to visit friends on the western (Croatian) side of Mostar.
