Boja
Anna Fernandez De Paco | 15 MIN | Catalonia, Bosnia
INTERNATIONAL SECTION
SYNOPSIS
Boja is living her last years of life working hard on the family farm set between the war-scarred ruins of Močioci, a ghost village in the mountains above the city of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Her brother’s patriarchal reign additionally weights on the inescapable routine of Boja’s life. To escape, Boja finds solace in the pastoral visions of nature, as she roams through the memories of days of the past. By opening their doors to the filmmaker, Bozana Boja Lakić, Jovan Lakić and Dragica Lakić opened a gate to a different world for the viewer.
