Warchild

Sarajevo 2005, the war has been over for years, but it still holds 30-year old Senada hostage. Her daughter, Aida, has been "missing" for nearly ten years, but Senada has not yet forsaken the hope that she is alive. When Senada finds evidence that the Red Cross flew children to Germany during the war, she follows the trail immediately and arrives after a long journey in Ulm, where she is rewarded for her determination: Aida had actually been brought to Germany. But the now 12-year-old Kristina has been adopted by a German family that loves her more than anything. Senada is confronted with a difficult decision: should she insist on the return of her daughter, wrenching her from her social circumstances and life in Germany, or return alone to Bosnia with the knowledge that her daughter is alive and doing well?
