A film about war and reconciliation and music. A cinematic portrait of a band called “Mostar Sevdah Reunion”. A movie that ties that band's personal, tragic as well as hopeful stories into the history of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

When Bosnia-Herzegovina left the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and declared their independence on March 2, 1992, war broke out among the regions Serbian, Croatian and Muslim Bosnian sectors. The city of Mostar was besieged for 18 months. Much of the historical downtown area was destroyed in the the ensuing battles. The final blow was given when the city's symbolic landmark, its 500 year old bridge, was bombed. The bridge was not only a prominent and important cultural monument, it also represented the connection between the various sections of the population. In the midst of this war, musicians from different backgrounds (officially enemies) joined together in the “Mostar Sevdah Reunion Band”. Their music helped the band members and their audience to rise above the armed conflict and the often minor disputes behind it. Ten years later and the musicians were scattered across all of Europe. But they find their way back together for the sake of their music. Their songs bridge national borders and represent more than just a connection between the individual musicians and their audience. Their music represent parts of their identity. Mira Erdevicki composes her poignant imagery into visual music in which she explores the parallels between the bridge that was made of stone and the musical bridge that connects people in a different way.
