April 1992: The Bosnian war breaks out. The ethnic conflict between Serbs and Muslim Bosnians escalates rapidly. Alisa, then nine years old, lives in the small Bosnian-Muslim town of Srebrenica. Her parents – her father is Bosnian, her mother Serbian – take her to safety.

They bring her to her grandparents in Ljubovija, in Serbia. Then they return to Srebrenica without their daughter.

Alisa has little contact with her parents until after the war. In the summer of 1995, Ratko Mladić’s troops murder over 8,000 Muslim men in Srebenica within a few days. Sejfo is one of them.

Almost 30 years later, Alisa returns to Bosnia. She tracks down the relatives and friends from her father’s tape who survived the genocide in Srebrenica. She wants to understand the last months of her father’s life. She also wants to know: What happened in the enclave between 1993 and 1995? Did people think they were safe?
