Synopsis

Survive? But how, without husbands, without fathers, sons, brothers, all the men in your family? How to survive when your world has fallen apart? When your house, your land, your country have been swept away by war? Since the atrocities committed by the Serb Chetniks, between 1992 and 1995, from Zvornik to Foca, from Prijedor to Srebrenica, countless Bosnian women and children have been asking themselves these questions. In Tuzla, so close to the scene of these atrocities, 15 of them leave the refugee camps every year in search of a meaning, in search of their life. Aided by psychotherapists from the association Vive Zene, they spend a year trying to express their pain. This is the chronicle of Sedina, Jasmina and Senada, three such women. Four seasons of mourning, life and love. The film intimately follows them step by step, capturing powerful moments of clarity and revelation, revealing essential truths about mourning, love and life, as they strive to survive.
