Contents/Summary

Summary
Bosnia 2005. Ten years have passed since the Dayton Peace Agreement, which brought the war to an end, but more than a million Bosnians are still waiting to return to their former homes.Among them are the last ethnic Bosnian refugees in Hungary, who in 1992 were freed from the institute for the mentally ill in Jakes, which was located right on the front line of the war. ”Since then my life has collapsed like a house of cards”, says Pandur, the self-appointed leader of a group of 28 people from Jakes. ”Since I came here my life has become hell. Really. Not just for me but for everybody. We are locked in all day and are only let out for breakfast and dinner.” For the inhabitants of this refugee camp for the mentally handicapped in Debrecen life passes in bleak monotony. The inactivity and monotony of the days kills their lust for life and these people, who are abandoned to their fate, are slowly giving up hope that they will ever return home.
