A middle-class Sarajevo family weathers some tough times by ultimately pulling together in this compelling, character-driven drama, notable for its warmth and intimacy. A father cannot give up his faith in what’s become an increasingly corrupt society, while his son, a traumatized war veteran, tries to cope with the shifting political situation and economic hardships of postwar Bosnia. Aided by a sterling cast hailing from across ex-Yugoslavia, director-writer Tanovic, a former documentary maker, brings authenticity of feeling as well as vibrant local color to the story.
