A quarter of a century after the start of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the scars of the war are still present, while life in the city has moved on, trying to escape the dark past. Smog from the nearby coal plants is lying over the city, while tourists are gushing over the main square, visiting one of many memorials or even staying at the war hostel for an authentic experience. On a small square in Sarajevo veterans have gathered to protest for their rights. At this little place the past overhauls any attempt to forget what happened over twenty years ago.
