CHILDREN OF SARAJEVO
Good morning.
How much did you bring?
You sure?
- Wanna' weigh it?
PMS.
And what's this?
Liver and sheep's head
on the house.
Didn't they have a bigger one!?
Sorry.
What about the rest?
- On Monday.
Where's Rizo?
- Hangover somewhere.
- You need him?
I'll call him.
I'm completely frozen.
Look, I cut myself every time.
Hey, what's up guys!
- Hey!
What's up boss?
Move it!
That looks good on you.
Put it over there.
And hurry up with that coffee,
I'm dying here.
To be or not to be,
that is the question.
Don't know what to tell you.
Who used up all the soap again!?
- Check her out...
Boss, what about
the brains and kidneys?
Monday.
I'll have some liver.
- Coming right up.
Stop dragging your feet
will you!
- Hey, get the potatoes
and peppers.
Now she wants to stuff
her face with liver!
I wonder what Rizo saw in her.
- Nothing anymore.
What's with that coffee?
- Hold on a sec!
Gaultier, wanna buy
some perfume
for your boyfriend?
How much?
- Hundred-fifty.
Good God!
- Almost a giveaway.
Guys, we're pushing
the liver today!
Man, I'm no magician.
You know no one
wants any.
I know, but it was free.
Here's the coffee.
- Leave it on.
Hey, did you know Tepa
punched Nera last night!?
He did?
- Where?
Out front. - Getouta here!
- Rizo was there too.
Slaps one then the other.
- Serves them right.
Dado!
Liver!
Is he OK?
I'm on my way!
Good afternoon.
Your brother broke
Hamza's iPhone and
beat him up on
top of that!
Who is Hamza?
Mr. Mirsad Melic's son!
Who is that?
A government minister.
Don't play stupid!
So?
- He'll get a warning
pending expulsion!
What about Melic's kid?
- Your brother started and
it's not the first time.
As for Hamza, he's a
good and well behaved kid.
Yeah, he must be,
his dad is a minister. Right?
Don't be smart! Buy him a
new phone and apologize to
Mr. Melic because
he's very upset!
Maybe I should kiss
his ass too?
I guess I have no choice but to
notify child protection services,
because I see Nedim is not growing
up in a suitable environment.
He has 20 unexcused absences
and general bad behavior!
If this continues I'll expel
him from school!
That's nothing. You should see
what he did to Hamza.
Nedim didn't tell you that we tried
to reach you several times,
we even sent notifications
to your home address!
So we agree?
You have until Wednesday,
then I make a call.
Come here! - Let go of me!
- Let go of you?!
Why are you doing this, huh?
He started it!
Look at that loser.
You better wipe your nose!
What!?
- What "what"?
What are you looking at?
- Oh, so you're a tough girl!?
Look at yourself!
Look at what you look like!
Wash yourself.
You'll go with me and
apologise to Melic!
He can eat my shit!
- And how did you get
twenty absences?
None of your business!
- What do you mean
none of my business?!
Check your blood sugar level!
- I'm fine!
Did you check it at all today!?
- I told you I'm fine!
Go home and get
your insulin!
Rizo should get you a mirror.
- Now!
Eat something!
Did you hear me?!
What're you doing in
the ladies' room?
Go, sit down.
I'm fine here.
This is giving me a bad trip.
- What is?
This opera.
Cheeza, I need an iPhone.
Well, well, did we
win the lottery!?
I need it now.
- Two grand!
No way!
- And that's for friends.
Is there any way to
pay in instalments?
We'll see hon, but
I doubt it.
Let's go people,
hungry customers!
Fifteen, sixteen, eighteen,
twenty-two...
What's up kid?
I'd need the pay slip...
This is good Cheeza.
What'd you say?
The annual one...
for child protection.
What's that got
to do with me?
Boss, should I leave?
You'll get it tomorrow.
Could you make the amount
a bit bigger for my brother?
How much is your pay?
- Eight-hundred.
Well, what more
do you want?
- Bye, boss!
- Bye, beautiful!
Take good care of this
girl for me.
Rizo, I need to ask you
something else if it's alright?
You don't have to...
- Go on, buy Nedim some chocolate.
Come on, Eid is near
and so is New Years.
If you're late again don't
bother coming anymore!
Sorry boss, I missed the...
Don't come anymore!
Got it?!
What're you looking at?!
Who does he think he's
talking to?! Boss this, boss that!
We'll sort it out.
And put on some make up
for God's sake.
If you're covered it
doesn't mean you're dead.
Good evening. How are you?
- Fine thanks, you?
Good, good. Thanks.
Salaam! Are you cold?
- Don't even mention it;
I'd die without this heater!
What do you need?
- I'll have a kilo of potatoes
and a kilo of oranges.
Did that boy of mine come today?
- Tarik?
Since when is he mine?
Oh, yes. He grabbed a roll
and rushed out.
Wait till I grab him. He didn't
answer my calls all day.
Give me one of those
juices he drinks.
That's what it's like
having a brother.
And I'm always
worrying about Tarik.
That is what they are like!
And two rolls.
Anything else?
Put it on my tab.
It's been like this all day!
Fetka's kid burned his hand today.
Nine and a half.
Salaam Alaikum.
- Wa Alaikum Salaam.
Take one.
- No, it's ok.
But they're nice.
Come visit us again!
Dear God, you're such a klutz!
How are you neighbor?
- Same as yesterday.
Let me give you a hand.
- Lf you'd be so kind.
What's up Nane.
Why you don't come over?
Take it easy.
It's this weather.
What's that I hear about Nedim,
he had some problems in school?
It's nothing. Kid's stuff.
Take care my child,
that's how they start.
And keep on fighting.
I fought my whole life, but...
Why aren't you
answering your phone?
Do you hear what I'm saying?
- Nope.
Why didn't you eat?
- I ate.
What did you eat?
- Kira brought some pie.
What's your blood sugar level?
- I'm fine.
Do you know how much
an iPhone costs?
No.
Well, it's three times my salary.
- There you go.
And where do you get to every day?
- It's my business.
Your business?!
What do you want anyway?
Do you want them to send you
back to the orphanage? Or what?
God forbid you clean up
after yourself.
Lift your feet.
And the blanket too.
I can understand anything,
but why get into a fight?
He cursed my mother!
Did they shoot at the bus?
A woman got killed.
Is there anything to eat?
- Where are you off to?
To school.
What school, it's Saturday!
Really, is today Saturday?
I'm going to return
a book to a friend.
What friend?
- You don't know her.
Answer the phone when I call!
Did you hear me!?
Don't be late for work,
Rizo needs you.
- Hello? Hey, what's up?
OK. I'm on my way.
Melic returned his steak,
he says it's not cooked enough.
What's tartar supposed to be like!?
Well done?
Who's Melic with?
I bring you "good news", they're
cutting the budget,
including the war benefits
and all.
- They should cut their
throats, damn bandits!
Well, Melic knows how
to save his own ass.
Eurosong, IMF, World Bank,
fancy schmancy!
Where's your off switch?
- Just get to work you little faggot.
That Melic is a prick!
He has an amazing wife and
he still screws around! Bastard!
You know her Rahima?!
- C'mon Gaultier,
it's not an elephant.
I'd cook it with my
left foot by now.
What a character!
Two chickens, one spicy.
Dino, where's Rizo?
Why, you wanna pay raise?
He's over there... busy sucking up.
He still didn't give you
that slip?
I've been waiting
since last Friday.
Here you go, love!
- Call me love once again and I'll
shove it down your throat!
Don't make me shove it
down your throat!
What are you fussing about?
- Hey, what's wrong with you guys?
Hey neighbor, can I ask
a question?
How do I get to the
beach from here?
Straight on.
Come on, I'll give you a ride?
To the beach?
To the beach,
any time you want.
Well, I can't.
I forgot to bring my parasol.
Seriously, let me
give you a lift?
Another time, thanks.
Got something to do, eh?
Work liberates you.
Yeah...
from what?
From life.
For the road.
Thank you.
Can I help you?
Hello Jasna,
how are you?
Monday's fine.
Nedim will be there.
I'll bring the papers.
Thanks. Bye.
You talkin' to me?
Talkin' to me?
Who do you think you're
talkin' to, huh?
Talkin' to me?
To me?
What's up?
Wanna see what's up?
- Who did you beat up today?
- Now you'll see...
I'm gonna kick your ass.
You'll never beat me.
- What kind of stupid
course did you pick?
You'll see I'll catch up.
C'mon, turn that off!
Ah, I crashed again.
Move this stuff please.
- Get out of the way!
You're losing anyway.
- We'll see about that.
Come on, please.
Turn it off, lunch
is almost ready!
- You just don't know
how to drive.
- You're the one
who can't drive!
Nane, would you like
a multivitamin?
No thanks.
- Try those tricks
somewhere else.
We'll play again later,
you'll see then.
nine Sarajevans were killed
and 38 wounded
in an enemy mortar attack.
Change the channel, please.
This we can keep on, huh?
Man, check her out.
You forgot the salt.
She's hot!
She'll be hot when they dig her
up in two or three hundred
years and find silicon
instead of bones.
I'm eating here!
You and your preaching.
Change it.
What's wrong, headscarf,
when you listened to
those junkies of yours,
that was cool, huh?!
- I'm off...
- Where are you going? - Home.
Come on, one more.
- Nane wait, you didn't even eat.
I'm not hungry.
- Hold on a second.
Take this to Kira.
- Thank you.
- And the playstation?
- Bring it over later.
Bye.
- Come over again.
We're cleaning your room today!
- Don't bother, I'll do it myself!
Yeah, right.
How about we sell
these slot machines?
Yeah, so Kemo will kill us.
Finish that and let your sis
give you a lesson in "Turismo".
You teach me "Turismo?"
- Yeah.
You think you
can beat me?
Yeah, if you dare?
- Do you dare?
Of course I do.
- Let's do it right now.
Come on.
- She thinks she can beat me...
Do I have to?
I pulled a double
shift yesterday.
Ok. I'm coming.
I have to...
I know, go on!
We wouldn't want
Rizo's business to suffer!
Hey Nedo!
- What's up.
Nothing much.
- How about you?
Is your sister good to you?
- You'll see how good she is!
You need some money?
- Nope! We're loaded.
Hey buddy, you gotta
cigarette?
Ma'am, spare some change?
How are you Ramiz?
- I'm fine. What's up with you?
Hey orphan.
Where you headed?
- Catching some sun, huh?
What are ya lookin' at?
- Whatta ya want?
Somethin' funny?
- Gotta problem?
He can't stand on his own!
Hey, Hamza's comin'.
Hamza!
- Thanks, ol' man.
See you later.
- See you.
We had a problem.
- With who?
With that orphan shit.
- What's up orphan shit?
Who's a shit!?
- Whatta ya want?
Leave it, leave it. - Take it easy.
We'll get 'em later.
Hello. Yeah, yeah.
Go ahead.
I'm comin'.
Want to use this now?
- OK.
So, how are you?
Fine.
You?
OK. And you?
How's your mother?
She shit her bed
again last night.
I felt like killing myself.
What can you do?
Dino, go get us the star.
Mima, what's wrong?
Can I help?
What a tree!
It's taller than the
one in the Vatican!
Is the perfume gonna be here
by the end of the day?
Sure thing!
But hon, I couldn't get
you that iPhone.
Where's Rizo, guys?
He's over there making some deal.
Why don't you ask Vedrana?
What's that boss?
- Put that there
Panties, that's what!
- Oh, great!
Oh, no. What are you doing,
for God's sake? - Why?
You should decorate it
from top down!
Don't you know how
to do it?
Obviously not.
Are you a Catholic or what?
I must be, I worked on
Christmas, didn't I?
Didn't you ever decorate
a tree at home?
Where were you growing up?
In a cave?
What's your problem, Vedrana?
Seriously, what's with you?
And we didn't grow up in a cave,
but during the war!
Unlike some...
We got paid!
- Damn New Year, I hate it!
Why didn't you tell me
Nedim was stealing?
I told him to tell you...
Today it's you, tomorrow,
someone's apartment!
He's just a kid. I'll sort it
out with him, man to man!
Who gave you the right
to solve my problems!?
You know he's diabetic!
You want him to go into a coma?
- No wonder that other
woman left him.
I've taken care of my brother till
now and I can do from here on out!
What's my tab?
Add it all up, please.
And I'll have an orange juice
and Honey Hearts cookies.
- She's coming again?
- Yes.
No one said you couldn't take
care of your brother...
Just give the girl
what she asked for!
Two hundred and twenty.
No, it's fine. That's for the
stuff he stole.
Are you out of your mind?!
Where have you been all day?
Why don't you answer the phone?
- Can I take a leak in peace?
Did you wash your hands?
Jasna's coming.
I told her you'd be home.
Well, I'm home.
Thanks for the gift.
Although I'm not sure
it's smart to spend
money on things
like this in your situation.
The neighbors
bathroom flooded.
Nedim, how's school?
- Fine.
Nedim, turn around when
you talk to Mrs. Jasna!
How are your grades?
- They're fine.
Any other problems?
When did you go
to his school last?
Just the other day.
OK.
What about the job,
you still have it? - I do.
Where's your pay slip?
I don't have it.
My boss wasn't in...
That's no excuse. You've known
all year you'd need it!
Yes, but...
- Always a "but".
I'll get it.
- When, love?
The medical reports?
This is for October.
Where is the rest?
Just a moment.
Move.
Move the chair.
Help me find it.
Here you are.
- What's this?
It's for November. We didn't
get the one for December because...
'Cos the lady has to work!
Dear Rahima, you know he has
to see a doctor twice a month!
This is very
irresponsible of you.
I'm afraid I'll have to
record this.
I need to go to the toilet.
Nedim's room is cold.
You should get him a heater!
We had one, but...
- And this handle fell off.
It broke...
- Oh, what's wrong
with this couch?
Seems that I'll have
to come again.
I can give you time until...
New Year's is on
Thursday and I have
to submit the report
by Wednesday.
So the day after tomorrow.
I'll bring everything to
your office.
I hope it won't be like
the last time!
How is Enver?
- Getting ready to retire.
Will you be the new manager?
That's that.
Goodbye.
- Bye Nedim.
I had a call from Nedim's
school the other day,
but I wasn't in
the office.
Do you know why
they called?
Probably about the fight,
but it wasn't a big deal.
Are you sure?
- I'm sure.
No need to check?
- No. He's fine.
Ok. I'm glad that he turned
out better than you. Goodbye.
Goodbye.
Thank you so much.
The Bosnian economy has
been completely devastated
primarily because of
the war but also
due to the global
economic crisis.
However, most analysts agree
that the key reason
for this economic devastation
has been the criminal
privatisation process.
Bosnia's pre-war industry was
one of the strongest in the region.
This is the cry of
a hungry people!
This is a desperate attempt to
open these doors, to enter inside
and see what is
happening behind them.
To see who are these
people who take the bread
from our mouths.
In front of our children.
Over there is corruption
and crime. They are thieves!
As far as we are concerned,
the privatisation
process is progressing
according to plan.
And about the number,
let me say
that the government
will insist
to stick to what
was agreed.
But we must be realistic.
We will insist that contracts
be to our advantage.
When do you expect this
process to end
and what about workers
on waiting lists?
We are working...
Juveniles again.
Some fifteen year olds
stabbed an old lady
in Dobrinja.
Where is this world going to?
- How's your bro?
Why? Want to marry him!?
- Well...
Look here, a drunk
fell down a ditch.
I wish my old man
would do the same!
You know what!?
I told that grocer that I'll
show him his maker
if he sells my
husband brandy again.
You know what, I'll blow him up
with the brandy and the store!
How's it going, youngsters?
Party time!
Mima, a brother's
looking for you.
Salaam Alaikum sister.
- Wa Alaikum Salaam.
Where do I put this?
- What's that?
Chicken wings.
Salaam Alaikum.
- Bring it over.
Nedim?
Why are you in bed?
What happened?
- Nothing, leave me alone!
Who beat you?
- No one.
What do you mean no one?
Look at you.
Was it Melic's son?
No, I don't know.
What did you need this for!
Of course it's always my fault!
- You get what you ask for!
No one dared mess with me until
you started wearing that headscarf!
So it's my fault now?
- It is!
Why did you have to
take me from the orphanage?
Well, if it isn't the
legendary Mima!?
Who beat up my brother?
Oh, did someone mess with him?
- Yeah, like you don't
know what happened.
Mima, I have no idea,
I swear.
Mima!?
Hey Coro!?
- Mima, is that really you!?
I can't believe it.
Let's sit and have
a coffee.
- I can't. Have to run.
Why are you here?
I had something to do.
Man, I can't believe it!
Check out my sister!
Like a heavenly creature.
But you look fine, so
help me God.
Man, this is my sister, don't
let anyone mess with her!
I'm sorry but I have to go.
Dalila,
do you know
who beat Nedim up?
No idea. Was there
trouble at school again?
Let me know if you hear
something, please.
- Sure.
- Thank you.
Hey, what's wrong?
Do you need some help?
I know all the big shots in town.
- No.
Do you have a cigarette?
Are you working?
In a restaurant. As a cook.
Here, take it all.
Thanks! That's great!
I work for Brando.
You know him, right?
I do. Excuse me, I have to go.
Mima!
You gotta ten spot?
I left my wallet at home.
Do you know how
much I love you?
You really looked out for me
at the orphanage.
Here you go. And you should really
stop doing that shit.
Why don't you have
a little break.
- Oh my God, it's so hot in here.
- Guys! What's the plan
for New Year's?
What do you mean!?
Hawaii, of course!
Guys, Melic has a new lady friend!
He wants ten sausages in a half bun.
- Wow! - He returned the steak,
says it's overdone.
- I can't believe it!
- Let's go guys! Party time!
- Dear Lord, you've completely
lost it. - Happy New Year!
Let's go Daca, mix it up.
Let's go. Get wild.
You come in here stoned!
Spill drinks! Is that it?
Trying to chase my
customers away!?
Why is Melic waiting an hour
for his steak! Eh, Davor!?
I'll kill you all! What!?
- Rizo...
- Fuck off!
Let's go people, let's go!
Sorry, I have no change.
- Mr. Melic!
Do I know you?
- I'm Nedim's sister.
Nedim, who?
- Nedim, from Hamza's class.
Aaa, that orphan.
So did you buy the iPhone?
I wanted to ask you if you
could wait until after the new year?
Well, I'm not a charity.
But we could make some
other arrangement?
Listen up asshole, tell that
idiot son of yours that if he
touches my brother again, you'll
be looking for him in the river!
Your daughter is waiting!
You're in for it now!
This is not over!
Who was that?
- Shut up!
Aunt Kira passed away.
What happened?
- Heart attack.
Good evening.
- How are you?
She was still young.
God save us.
Such a waste.
Death doesn't care
if you're young or old.
God rest her soul.
- May she rest in peace.
- This is all because
of the war.
How are your shrapnel wounds?
- Like the weather.
And your company?
- Shut down.
And your company?
It's good. Like these times.
Ups and downs.
How are you Ibro?
- I'm good thank God.
Is this done?
- It is, thanks.
Is that her daughter?
- The boy's mother.
That's what killed her!
Good evening.
- Good evening.
Selma!
- Yes?
- Make some fresh coffee.
- OK.
Hi Nedim.
- Hello.
How are you doing?
Don't worry,
everything will be fine.
How's school?
I hear the price of
cigarettes will go up?
They have to, but
not by much.
Time to go Nedim.
- OK.
Nane, see ya.
Does anyone want
some coffee?
Don't bother.
I'd like some.
- OK, then I will too.
Would you like
some coffee?
It's good he fell asleep.
I can't believe that mother of his.
She didn't even look at him.
Poor kid. What's he
going to do now.
Why did you start
wearing a headscarf?
I have crooked legs
and loppy ears.
You know, I can understand
finding faith, I'm religious too,
but covering
the hair is a bit...
Radical?
- No, not radical, but...
Unnecessary, is it?
Not unneccessary, oh I don't
know how to put it...
Hey, enough politics.
Let's have a smoke.
We're going to the mosque to pray.
Want to come?
I'll do it at home.
Is there any hot water?
Yes...
That's a nice headscarf.
I'm sorry if I hurt your
feelings the other day.
I like you.
And I'm too old
to be playing games.
I have honest intentions
and I wanted...
- You realize I come
in a package?
I know.
And I love you just
like you are...
In a package.
So think about it.
Who is it?
- Police!
Just a moment.
Good afternoon.
- Good afternoon.
Are you Rahima Masic?
- I am.
Your ID please.
Rahima Masic.
You're a recidivist.
With multiple relapses
into criminal behavior.
What are you talking about?
According to an intelligence report
dated December 30th, at 18.45
in a parking garage located
at Branilaca Otesa 32
you assaulted a state official,
Mr. Mirsad Melic
while he was performing
his duties.
Also, on December 25th,
your brother damaged property of
the same individual.
Do you have anything to say,
or do you reserve
the right to remain silent?
Felony offenses
of this nature
can include 1-8 years
in prison, Halima.
You have 24 hours to report to
the proper authorities
to give a formal statement
on this felony offense.
Here's your ID.
Are we clear?
You should also bring
proof of ownership
for all of this property.
That's Kemo's.
He owns the flat.
I have nothing
to do with it.
Are you Nedim?
What happened
to you, Nedim?
Nothing. A little fight.
You'll turn out
better than your sister.
Who are these guys?
Where were you?
What are you looking for?
- Insulin.
Did you check under
the bridge?
Where's my stuff?
- Where did you get it?
- Give it back to me!
Who gave it to you?
Your pal Brando!
Where are you off to?
Where are you off to?
Happy New Year!
Let's go home!
Give me your bag.
- No need.
Give me your bag.
Take this one,
if you like.
Where were you going?
To stay with Ramiz?
What's wrong with Ramiz?
If you only dressed up nicely.
Did you eat? - No.
- Me neither.
I could throw something together.
How about some pancakes?
- It's been ages
since you made any.
- Liar, I made some
last week!
- Maybe you made
them for Rizo.
- Well, Rizo can
eat shit now!
