Synopsis

Bosnia, July 1995. Aida is a translator for the United Nations in Srebrenica. When the Serbian army takes over the small town, her family is among the thousands looking for shelter in the UN camp. Aida has access to crucial information. What lies ahead for her family and people—rescue or death?

Our take

Anchored by a powerful performance from Jasna Ðuričić, Quo Vadis, Aida? is a sensitive recreation of one of the most atrocious events to take place on European soil since the Second World War. Jasmila Žbanić’s work of remembrance unveils the cruel gap between cold bureaucracy and basic humanity.
