Synopsis

In April 1992 a war broke out in Višegrad (Eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina), separating Serbian and Bosnian pupils. Twenty-five years later, the former head teacher of the primary school and the widow of the class teacher take their old Zastava and set off on a long journey to reunite the pupils in a class reunion. Julie Biro and Antoine Jaccoud film this journey into the past of this sacrificed generation that brutally left its childhood behind in a world destroyed by adults.
