An empty city. A population in hiding. An invisible enemy who surrounds you. Everywhere is the front line. A testimony of fear, survival, hope.

DESET U POLA (NOT SO FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD AFFAIR )

2021 | Danis Tanovic | 90 min | Feature

Sarajevo, May 2021. The Old Town is trying to recover after a long and difficult pandemic year. The pandemic is not over yet, but the summer is coming and there is hope that things can improve, even if only for a short time. When a woman from Zagreb enters Enis's shop one morning and says that she has come to eat ”the best kebabs in Sarajevo”, and in a moment of goodwill, he sends her to Izo's shop. This totally harmless, friendly gesture will cause the complete disintegration of the neighbors' business and private life, engulfing not only Izo and Enis but the whole city. Where can one eat the best kebabs in Sarajevo?
