Sinekatalog’s take

A singing group trying to flee war-torn Sarajevo has to wait for a tunnel to clear in this tense Bosnian short. It captures the claustrophobia and fragility of wartime escape in a few minutes. Spare, human and effective.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
