Synopsis:

Four women, four life stories that were influenced by the war. The film captures the testimony of migrant women, which in the 90s had fled from war-torn Yugoslavia to the Czech Republic. Through personal stories and memories film mediates their lives, from escaping Bosnia and Herzegovina, through difficult job search and struggle to survive in a foreign country, to balancing how new life changed their family life and social status. At a deeper level, from the perspective of twenty years of life in a new home, the film talks about what essential and often irreversible changes refugee status brings.

The screening will be followed by a debate about women in migration, together with our colleagues and clients (in Czech).
