    • The Srebrenica massacre and its consequences in the region are approached in an unconventional way. The film focuses on Alija, a Bosnian immigrant worker who had lost his sister in the 1995 genocide. Nowadays, due to the crisis, miners are losing their jobs. Alija is sent to check an abandoned mine, to make sure it is empty before the company is sold. However, underground Alija finds hidden proof of executions after World War II. He is told to stop digging and report the mine empty. Alija decides to proceed, risking his job. He discovers thousands of executed people.
