As Sarajevo burns, the boy he was then becomes a young man. He wanders through the ruins of the bombed-out city and collects things left behind by those who fled and died, trading them for food. He learns to survive and accepts the cruel new reality, but at what cost? Radio Sarajevo tells and shows us war from the perspective of a child and explores the close connection between masculinity, violence and war. Moderation: Ana Sobral
