Synopsis

Bogdan Bogdanović designed a memorial outside Čačak to honor victims of World War II. Urbanization and changing governments have since hidden many mass graves in Serbian cities. The memorial, now overgrown and neglected, features local voices, archival materials, and reenactments to convey its significance. The film presents the relationship between memory, history, and architecture, focusing on the stories that have been forgotten alongside the monument.
