It is 1993 when Bekir Hasanović exchanges a gold coin for the camera he will use to film everyday life in Srebrenica during the days of the war. The images he records with his improvised crew, called Dzon, Ben & Boys, give life to the unexpected portrait of a population lost, but able to maintain a proud connection with reality without giving up its typical humor.
Ado, Bekir's son, starts from these images and from the pages of the diaries kept by his father to reconstruct, together with his mother Fatima, the image of his father and finally be able to know how he survived the Death March and the Srebrenica genocide.
