Synopsis

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.
