Three
Three veterans of Bosnian war – a Serb, a Croat and a Bosniak – talk about their war experience and share their memories… Three stories told by three men who fought on three different sides in the war that all of them consider absurd.
This short documentary collage tells us that the war should still be discussed. The film was made from the passenger seat of a car: it shows three war veterans – a Serb, a Croat and a Bosniak – sharing their war experience and memories. All three of them were actively involved in the war(s) in the former Yugoslavia. With minimal interventions, Dević manages to convey three stories by three men who fought on three different sides but who share the conviction that war is absurd.
