Hazira, a survivor of the Srebrenica massacre, lives in limbo at the Ježevac camp near Tuzla—far from her former mountain village, now in Serbia. With dark humor and quiet resilience, she endures the monotony of displacement. As Bosnia marks 30 years since the genocide, Ceasefire reflects on survival, memory, and the cost of unresolved history, asking: how long can someone live in the shadow of a war that never truly ended?

Directors' Biography

Jakob Krese grew up between Yugoslavia and Germany, the grandson of both a partisan and a Nazi judge. His films explore tensions between the individual and the collective, memory and resistance. He studied film in Berlin, Havana, and Sarajevo, and works across Trieste, Ljubljana, and Berlin.
