BETWEEN THE END OF WARS

“In Between the Ends of War” is a documentary film and an author’s attempt to comprehend and compare the experience of living through the war that ended 30 years ago and the war that is still going on.
Something in all this is indescribably similar — personal losses, doubts, pain. Something is different - the countries (Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine), the time (1992 - 1996 and 2014 - ...), and the willingness to understand and continue living together. Does time put everything in its place and we just have to wait?
