Storyline

Jelena is a photojournalist on an investigative editorial team in Belgrade that campaigns for basic democratic rights. Her journalistic work is her passion, but the atmosphere around her has been threatening for some time and she is increasingly becoming the target of far-right groups. When the editorial office is violently attacked one day and her daughter Lara is threatened shortly afterwards, Jelena decides to leave the country for the time being.
