In agreement with the Government of Italy, in 1992 45 children from the ‘Ljubica Ivezic’ orphanage left the besieged Sarajevo. The idea was to take the children away from the war and return them home afterwards. Fifteen years later, five of them tell their stories and reveal that they never returned, that they no longer speak their mother tongue, fell nostalgic, have new friends and new families and new homeland.
