    Comparing to the Bosnian Oscar winner "No Man's Land", this movie is a masterpiece and the annual winner of the "Golden Bear" i Berlin. Though, the main role is played by the brilliant Serbian actress Mirjana Karanovic (Esma). Esma, a Bosniak woman living in post-war Sarajevo, has a (big) secret which is being revealed at the end of the movie in a cathartic manner. The war didn't stop just after the end of shooting - the consequences have it's heavy load.
