"Dum spiro spero" is a Latin saying meaning ‘while I breathe, I hope’.
Until this day it has remained the motto of those who refuse to quit
until the very last breath. Intertwining daily life, books and death,
the author speaks about losing strength and the strength to cope with
the loss. Everybody die the moment they are born, which is the
greatest reason why to understand the values of life and enjoy the
joys it gives. The acclaimed writer after a series of book made his
first film and his literatal experience spoke in a cinematic language
that reaches the level of his literature. Details of ordinary
surrounding and daily life fit in with the story they engender. This
film is to a great extent a one-man show, because next to the script
and directing, the author also filmed all the material and played the
mouth harp.

How do you get to terms with your war history? And how can you ensure
that your children don’t have to carry this burden? In this very
personal documentary Lidija Zelovic tries to answer this question.
Zelovic grew up in Bosniain the city of Sarajevo, then still
Yugoslavia, where the civil war of 1992 divided the population. In
1993, she fled to the Netherlands. As a war correspondent for the BBC
and later as a filmmaker, she kept trying to get closer to the truth
about war.
What happens to a family long after the war is over? During the making
of this film Zelovic finds that the real war is raging within people.
Even inside herself. To try and leave the past behind and no longer
feel like a refugee, Zelovic tries to identify the source of
hostility. She gets in touch with a cousin who was a sniper during the
war, speaks with a journalist friend who was close to Mladic and goes
on a holiday with her son back to the family roots.

Die weltweite Auswahl der Wettbewerbsprogrammes wird von einer internationalen Jury gesichtet. Das Festival präferiert neben Filmen, die einen alternativen Informationsgehalt bieten, Werke, die Realität in angemessener Komplexität repräsentieren und auf diese Weise deren sensible und irritierende Aspekte hervorheben. Es bevorzugt Filme, die sich dem ambivalenten und enigmatischen Status der Realität stellen und auf diese Weise Stereotype und simplifizierende Schlussfolgerungen unterlaufen.
