Earth Promised Sky

Day and night Shida paints portraits of her husband, sons, and grandson. All of them have been missing from the time of the bloody war in Bosnia, similar to 27,000 other individuals. Even years after the end of the conflict, Shida does stop not dreaming that one day she will discover at least one of her lost sons at the threshold of their family home. She would also be relieved if at least some of them were able to be identified during the uncovering of the mass graves and she could give them a proper burial. "Earth promised Sky that she would never keep anything from him," as the Muslim saying goes. Eva, Amor, and Jasna work on the discovery of mass graves and the identification of remains for the Bosnian Commission for Missing Persons. They also hope that they unearth among the exhumed bodies their loved ones and will be able to return to them their dignity. Over their efforts and pain hangs the bitter taste of disappointment that those guilty of the mass execution have not yet been punished in the Hague Tribunal.
