2025 marks the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica and the end of the war in former Yugoslavia. Hazira survived Srebrenica. After 29 years, she still lives in a refugee camp in her own country. Through dark humor and quiet resilience, Hazira copes with the trauma of a war that continues to define her life.

about the author

Jakob Krese grew up between the former Yugoslavia and Germany. Grandchild to Yugoslav partisans on one side and a Nazi judge on the other, he became obsessed with the tensions within the relationship between the individual and the collective. He tries to explore these structural connections in his cinematic work, searching for past memories and future possibilities of resistance.
