Documentary, Sport, War

Torn apart and enraged by ethnic conflict, Mostar is more like two "ghettos" divided by a big boulevard, than the joyful Montmartre of the Balkans that it was before the war.

Plot

Mensud fought in the Bosnian war, defending his hometown Mostar and the Old Bridge. Now that peace has returned and the Old Bridge has been rebuilt, Mensud is fighting once again, this time against the new nationalist mentality. Torn apart and enraged by ethnic conflict, Mostar is more like two "ghettos" divided by a big boulevard, than the joyful Montmartre of the Balkans that it was before the war. From the pitch of the Velez football school, the legendary team of Mostar, Mensud teaches an army of kids the value of friendship and unity. His son, Dzenan, one of his players, cannot stand this struggle any longer. He dreams of playing for a major European team and living in a safe environment.
