Mujesira & Joviša

Mujesira & Joviša

Mujesira is a Muslim woman. She lives in a small village near Višegrad. As the war starts, she witnesses the killing of her husband by Serbs.

His body is thrown into the river Drina. She manages to flee with her two children and some other villagers into the mountains. But when they are ambushed by soldiers, both her children are shot dead, and Mujesira is taken to a camp, forced thus to leave their bodies behind. After the war, Mujesira cannot find the remains of her children, and is therefore prevented from giving them a proper burial. She has been searching for them ever since. Mujesira sends a video letter to her Serbian former neighbors in Višegrad, hoping that at least one of them will summon enough courage to help her find her children.
