Quo Vadis, Aida? – The Missing Part

Six months after the genocide in Srebrenica and after the Peace Treaty was signed, the women still don’t know the whereabouts of their sons. Out of desperation, they organize protests and private investigations. Despite being emotionally fragile, often under-informed and lacking education, these women embody an incredible strength that overcomes all political and bureaucratic barriers. They demand their sons, the truth, and justice, and nothing can stand in their way. The story is dramatic, full of tension, action and emotions.

The first film Quo Vadis, Aida? was focused on July 11, 1995, on the consequences of UN decisions and the crimes of the Serbian army. The second film is continuation during the peace which the lead character describes as “harder than the war itself”.
