Synopsis

Two buses travel through the landscapes of former Yugoslavia, each carrying passengers with starkly different memories. One bus transports supporters celebrating Josip Broz Tito's birthday at his birthplace, while the other carries the elderly and young idealists heading to Bleiburg, the site of a World War II massacre. Filmmaker Goran Devic observes the emotional parallels between these journeys, reflecting on the shared experiences of triumph and loss that shape the region's history.
