Contents Summary
Zarina Khan, a French writer and theater director, in October 1993 visits Sarajevo to "build space of freedom and share it with the young people in the besieged city." Zarina created acting and writing workshop for teenagers to produce their own show about the meaning of human existence and freedom. Zarina meets Timur, an eight-year-old refugee in Sarajevo; he has to search for food and water. Readings and performance by the teenagers are intertwined with the pictures of Sarajevo and Zarina's narration.
