Synopsis
In September 2004, Himzo Muratovic returned from the dead. His village was burned to the ground in 1992 by Serb paramilitaries. Thousands of people in the area were declared missing. Human remains are still being unearthed from mass graves all over the country. Just before the killers entered his village, our hero disappeared through the woods. He was never heard of again. Then all of the sudden - Himzo returns alive and healthy. After the initial rejoicing, people from the village started asking questions. Where had he been? How did he survive? Was he captured and tortured? And the most urgent question of all: why won't he talk about it?
