In 1996, just after the Bosnian War ended, Joaquim Sapinho headed to Bosnia, and then came back two years later, in 1998. This is Joaquim’s diary of the two voyages in which he dealt with the memories of the war, all the deaths and destruction, and with the victims’ struggle to return home.

Filmmaker Joaquim Sapinho sought to come to terms with the horrors of the Balkan conflict through dual trips to the region in the late 1990s. This thoughtful diary film unfolds through a series of tonal contrasts: between war-torn summer landscapes and the winterly struggle for reconstruction.
