Good morning!

Who the hell are you?

- Miro Jovanovic.

A Serb? -Yes.

Do you have a cigarette? -Yes... Take them all.

What brings you here? -Business.

Business? You must be joking!

Where are you from?

From the city.

- Would you mail a letter for me?

Why not? Where are the others?

- There are more of us here...

Where?

Ok. Thanks.

Don't forget the letter! -I won't.

Let's go,Ali!

Ali!

I'll be down,

so come by later.

Here you are. -Thank you.

As-Salamu 'Alaykum

- Alaykum As-Salam.

Miro. - Mehmed! Please...

He is of Jovanovic family from Zoranovac!

Really?

What brings you here? -Business.

Now on business, but what

did you do during the war?

I fought like everybody else did...

But why?

If you asked me now

I would not know what to say...

Who turned us against each other?

I don't know who turned

us against each other,

but I know who killed my children!

Not all of us were killing. - No, we were not!

Granny, look at this. - Granny's children...

Take care, it'll fall. - It won't.

Did Hajro ever contact you?

Which Hajro? -Hajro Catic.

How do you know Hajro Catic?

I saved him during the war.

I bought his house in haste,

fixed his papers for America...

Do you know exactly where he is?

- No. I don't.

Did you by any chance

meet Omer Hadzic? My dad.

Tall, dark haired, slim man...

Omer Hadzic.

Tall man. He had a moustache...

Wore eyeglasses...

He had glasses with something

golden on the side...

Omer Hadzic...

My dad...

And what did you say?

What business brings you here?

I have good news foryou.

Some foreigners like this region,

but they have no time

to look for every person.

And they do not want

an unclearsituation.

They want to solve

everything in one package.

Finish the business,

get the money.

What?

They would buy our

land for good money.

So we can live like people as well.

They bought all of this,

and the only part that

they need is our land.

They would pay better money for it.

This is what they offer.

Take a look.

And I will come back on Thursday.

Don't bother coming back.

To make things clear,

I am just a messenger.

Is he well?

He hardly calmed down.

His hair grew again.

You forgot this.

Go, have some rest.

Alahimanet.

Tuesday

As-Salamu 'Alaykum

- Alaykum As-Salam.

What isthis?

Some Serb brought it.

He came yesterday.

Is he your compatriot as well?

The GG Company undertakes

to pay the full purchase price

for your property, appraised

at seventy thousand KM!

Seventy thousand, Jaca?

The GG Company will

make payment in two instalments.

The first instalment, amounting

to 50% of the agreed price,

is to be paid upon the

signing of the contract.

The second instalment ofthe

equal value is to be paid

at the start ofworks

on the Slavno project.

Under article 55 ofthe official gazette...

all disputes will be

solved before authorized court.

How does it sound to you?

They took them away

in their pyjamas...

I didn't even have enough

time to give them jackets.

Omer had enough time

to put on his jacket,

but what difference did that make?

Why did his hair grow again?

- Because ofthe bogeyman!

Let's go. I have something

to show you. Hurry.

You're not giving up?

I mean, since we are

selling the village!

You are so stupid.

How will I do it? -Nice... Easy.

I haven't even touched you!

- I will do it.

Hurry up!

This isn't taking

anything off!

This is sacred!

Do you understand? Sacred!

Do you understand? Sacred!

Zehra!

Zehra! Don't go there!

Zehra! Come back!

There is a minefield!

What if she steps on a mine!

She won't, don't worry.

There are no minesthere.

There she is!

I am not going to

lose you as well!

Wednesday

Careful! Don't make any stains.

We should bring out the ayvar.

- Bring it, then.

This potato is great, granny.

"Once I dreamt that

I was a Snow queen,

that I was a charmer, sometimes

even a beauty queen. "

Maybe something came up

and he couldn't come.

Your compatriot

did not show up!

Let me be, Safija. I'm really not

in the mood now...

Why am I thinking?

I should sell everything to the Serb,

damned is he and this village!

What does this mean to me

when I don't have my child?

And I don't have my husband...

And you...

Fine.

Thursday

Where did this come from?

Safija! Safija!

Safija is sick. Go get someone,

get Grandpa.

Quickly!

Is there water here?

- Lots! Lots of water. Look at this!

Safija is not feeling well. She is sick!

What's going on children?

- Safija is sick.

Who? -Safija.

And where is she?

Sick? -Yes. She is not feeling well.

Thank God.

Her pulse is normal.

Who are these men?

- The man with the contracts.

What happened?

- She was sick.

Is she better now?

- Yes, I am fine.

You are here.

This is Marc.

Nadija. Nice to meet you. - Marc.

Make some coffee.

- Don't. We will drink it down there.

Let's go.

Good-bye.

- Good-bye.

Zehra don't do that... Don't...

Zehra! Stop it!

- Move and I'll stop.

Well, what have you decided?

Maybe I should explain

something more.

Article 7 is not clear to me.

If G&G does not pay you

the amount, then the bank

will do that with interest of 2%.

I fought so much, Mr. Marc

knows how much we talked,

for the contracts to be for our benefit.

Ok, and what about this

Article... I did not understand...

Why are you interfering? -Just like that...

Just like that? You did not mean to sign this?

It's better for you.

Mum, you know what would happen

ifFather came back and found

out that you sold the house.

Who is Father? - Omer.

Take it easy.

Like I am doing this

for my own sake.

Father is alive. We found his eyeglasses.

You said that Hajro saved himself.

So did my father.

I must tell you something.

Sit down.

It's about Omer.

About who? -Your Omer.

You heard something?- I did not hear, I saw.

They killed him.

I saw it with my own eyes.

I could save Hajro, but

not Omer unfortunately.

Look at this.

What are you looking for?

- Just looking around.

Where are the others?

They just left.

How is your mother-in-law?

Fine.

Ms? Can I have a moment?

You are? -Alma.

You think you can live off ofthis?

- Not live, but get rich!

It's a tough and long

way from zero to wealth.

You have nothing here!

Sorry, we don't have a lot oftime.

We should visit the owners.

Don't cry! At least you have a mum!

We have no mum and no dad.

Leave that!

Mrs. Safija, you know why are we here.

Considering that the entire

estate is in your husbands name

and it is the largest in these parts,

your opinion means a lot to us.

Please explain this contract.

Which article? -All one by one if possible!

Can I have a cigarette!

- Please don't, my heart is weak.

Mrs. Safija, you deserve

better life conditions.

Yeah!

Miro, please can you pass

me the pressure gauge.
