It has been 20 years since the Srebrenica genocide. In 2014, the remains of 174 dna- recognized victims were buried in Potocar. The youngest victim was a four-year-old boy. The remains of one man were found from four different locations. In the film, we can hear Zineta, who has to say goodbye to her son.
