The film is the testimony of the four young people from eastern Bosnia, who survived the genocide in Srebrenica. Being pupils and students now, they try to find the purpose and direction in their lives. The confessions of the characters go back to their childhood, which they spent in the besieged Srebrenica. Their memories are connected to the seemingly trivial events (searching for food, waiting for the humanitarian help, going to school, playing…), which under the given circumstances had totally different connotations. Through their everyday struggle for survival, on the one hand the tragedy of common people could be seen, and on the other Europe’s and the World ‘s inertia and reluctance in solving that desperate situation.
