Children of Sarajevo

Directed by Aida Begić

With Marija Pikić, Ismir Gagula, Bojan Navojec, Sanela Pepeljak and Nikola Đuričko

A microcosm of the fathomless suffering that remains more than 16 years since the siege of Sarajevo ended, writer-director Aida Begic’s follow-up to her 2008 Cannes Critics’ Week Grand Prize-winning debut Snow tells the story of two orphaned siblings struggling in a transitional society where only the fittest survive.
