Which language is ‘our language’? Do Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian really differ? Why are there bands from BiH which perform in English? Is language identity? What is the position of youth living in a sea of borrowed words and the lack of linguistic identity in BiH? The director explored this theme from his own vantage point, without any desire to prejudge the conclusion of the film.
