Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on real post-war adoptions where Bosnian children were 'rescued' by Western families, often without proper documentation or surviving parent consent.
The film deliberately mirrors the bureaucratic coldness of Germany's own Vergangenheitsbewältigung—processing historical guilt through paperwork rather than human connection.
