At the railway station in Jesenice, Samir waits for a train he hopes will bring his father back from the war in Bosnia. It is 1992. Yugoslavia is collapsing, and the news reaching Slovenia is devastating . When Samir’s mother is told that her son is suspected of vandalism at the station, the day gradually opens into a landscape of grief, anger, and unspoken truths. Their return to the station leads to a confrontation in which the accusation becomes a catalyst for uncovering a painful truth about Samir’s absent father.
