In the hills near Sarajevo is the village of Ahatovici, which fell into Serbian hands during the war in former Yugoslavia. Almost all the men were brutally murdered and the village was burnt to the ground. Filmmaker Honigmann, known for her strong and thoughtful documentaries, commemorates these men through their wives, mothers and daughters, and through the few remaining photographs and personal belongings. A memory is attached to each object, but it takes the way a man's wife speaks of him and holds his picture close to let us know exactly who he was. In exposing the layers of grief, this intimate documentary tells in fine detail the story of a forgotten genocide.
