Winner 2014: DIE BRÜCKE AM IBAR / MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY

Civil war in Kosovo, 1999: The young Serbian widow Danica (Zrinka Cvitešić) falls in love with Ramiz (Mišel Matičević), a Kosovo-Albanian soldier who, wounded in battle, seeks refuge in her home on the Serbian side of the River Ibar. Ramiz makes friends with Danica’s children as well – but not with her spiteful and jealous neighbor… A moving story of love and humanity in a time of hatred.
