SENAD AND EDIS

Specials

14-year-old Senad and his best friend Edis live in a small, inaccessible village on the mountain Bjelasnica near Sarajevo. Despite the immediate vicinity to the metropolis, this mountain pasture has remained a self-sufficient, but poor region that takes its toll on the few inhabitants. During the war, the village was evacuated; the families of the two boys have just recently returned. The war seems to be a part of their past, but the marks it made are omnipresent: destroyed houses, mined pastures and their fathers’ war-stories are part of everyday life. The film tells the story of the two Bosnian boys’ friendship in a visually stunning way.
