Documentary about Bosnian writer Dževad Karahasan.

Nermina and Marinko have been married for 39 years. During all those years, they had a lot, five children, Tatjana, Davorina, Nina, Denisa and Sandro. In all those years, they lost a lot. War, refugees, loss of family members... They survived all that together, raising their children to be successful and honest people. Through photos from family albums and personal and archival footage, as well as their conversations with their children and friends, we see how Nermina and Marinko dream of Srebrenica as it once was, full of people and with a developed economy, while today their town is becoming a ghost town, and they have to go to neighboring towns for the most basic foodstuffs.

46-year-old Džemo lives in a village with his mother, father and brother. He cares for ten cows every day thereby earning a living for his family. Džemo’s day starts and ends with a pushcart, his constant companion on daily more than 20-kilometer-runs. His boyhood dream was to take part in large running events which is why he always applies for city and mountain races. Despite hard labour demanded by a life in the rural area, and the fact that he competes against professional athletes, Džemo wins gold medals regularly.
