Synopsis
At the railway station in Jesenice, Samir waits for the international train that might bring his father back from the Bosnian battlefield. It’s 1992, and the Yugoslav war is raging. Samir’s mother finds out that her usually well-behaved son has damaged a train. Meanwhile, Samir plays basketball with his friend Zoran. A simple lunch invitation from Zoran's father stirs painful memories of Samir’s absent father. At home, his mother insists they confront the accusations at the station, leading to deeper conversations about Samir’s actions and the truth about his father.

I was born right after a long-lasting war had ended, and visits to my relatives in what was then Bosnia and Herzegovina were raw, intense, and emotional. In my early childhood, I came to understand what sadness meant. I grew up in an apartment block in Jesenice, where people were not divided by origin. We were connected, and life went on with a positive spirit. My best friend from childhood came from a Serbian family. We never argued about the war, but we had plenty of arguments about football and basketball players.
