Quo Vadis, Aida?

Directed by Jasmila Žbanić, 2020, 103 minutes, Bosnian, English and Dutch with Czech subtitles

Bosnia, 11 July 1995. Aida lives in the small town of Srebrenica, where she works as an interpreter for the United Nations. When the Serbian army occupies the town, her family is among the thousands of civilians seeking refuge at the UN base. As an interpreter, and therefore a direct participant in the negotiations, Aida has access to vital information. What fate awaits her family and her people – will it be rescue or death? And what will she do herself?
