Overview

Agata travels from Sydney to Sarajevo to write a war novel, but as she gathers material, she is challenged by locals who question her motives. Her creative uncertainty growing, she sees a startling mystery unfold: some provocative and obscene artworks inexplicably vanish. As Agata reads the first chapters of her new novel, it becomes clear that the story is not about the war itself, but about the quiet, very human moments of resilience that persist in its shadow. During her stay in Sarajevo, Agata has developed a deeper understanding of the act of storytelling and the profound responsibilities that come with being a storyteller.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A writer confronts the ethical weight of bearing witness as she chases a story in post-war Sarajevo, only to discover the real story is quieter and more intimate than she anticipated. It is a film about the humbling gap between what we think we want to say and what actually matters.
