Director, writer & producer Damir Markovina (Documentary)
Deserters is a hybrid documentary essay about my generation – a generation of Bosnian and Herzegovinian high schoolers from the town of Mostar, struck by a devastating war on the verge of their maturity.
This tapestry of our memories of the early nineties is composed of modern-day postcards and silent shots of places where wars used to be waged and which we, the protagonists of this film were forced to abandon. The serenity of these places today is in contrast with the emotional excerpts from the letters addressed to the film’s director from refugee camps scattered all over Europe.
The refugees describe their flight across the border, their experiences in refugee camps and their lasting hate of the enemies who took away their home and their youth. A film about a lost generation, exile, difficult choices and an answer to the toughest question of any war: to stay or to run?
