Was really looking forward to see this movie and it hasn't disappointing me. The movie is tragic story of Halima.Bosnian Muslim who lost her husband and son. It's also story of her niece who found the love of her life in a Serbian man. Something what was not acceptable for her father. Her pregnancy was a god send to Halima as she herself couldn't bear children.But in order to find her son's remains( he was murdered in the war) she must find her niece-his biological mother who is now married to her Serbian husband then boyfriend and hasn't had any contact with her family for 20 years.
This story is utterly tragic. The acting is brilliant.Alma Prica is incredible as Halima You can feel Halima's love and sorrow for her son. And the need to find his remains to bury him. Also Olga Pakalovic & Mijo Jurisic are brilliant. There is a great chemistry between then and the love story is therefore believable.
The movie also shows that the concept of multi-ethnic Bosnia and mixed marriages weren't accepted everywhere and not everybody liked the idea. And that not all was peachy before the war. There was mistrust and prejudice. Not even love could overcome it....
