Most of the people who took part in this film experienced this terrible happening in 1992. A main character in the movie is played by my grandfather (Mumin Kadiric). He was forced to leave his son, my uncle (Elvir Kadiric) behind on this bridge. On this day thirteen young men disappeared. To this day there is no trace of them. The aim of this film is to produce a memorial for those people and other victims of the war. They should never be forgotten.
