Grbavica

Grbavica details the story of a single mom, Esma, who lives with Sara, her 12 year old daughter. They live in a Grbavica neighborhood in Sarajevo, which was used during the war in Bosnia as the site of a prison camp which was rampant with rape and torture.

Sara is a defiant girl who is trying to discover her past. Sometimes Sara is yelling at her mother, and other times she is desperately hugging her. Esma has told Sara that the girl’s father was a shaheed who died as a hero fighting in Bosnia. Sara meets Samir, a young boy who claims that his father was also a shaheed. Sara then becomes curious and wants to know more about her father.

Sara has the opportunity to go on a school trip. The cost is high, but students of shaheeds can get a discount if they show certification that their father died a hero. Esma procrastinates in producing the certificate and tries to come up with the money to pay the full price of the trip. She even takes a job as a waitress in a slimy nightclub run by a low-life in hopes of making some extra money. Sara’s classmates ridicule her because she is not on the list of the children of martyrs. She keeps pressuring her mother to give her some answers about her father. Esma claims that her father’s body was never recovered, so she does not have the certificate. Esma goes to friends to beg them to give her the money so Sara can go on the trip, but no one will lend her the money she needs.
