Synopsis
Neither the brute force of weapons nor the spite of those who would cast everywhere in the same image have managed to wipe Sarajevo from the map. Today is it brimming with more energy than ever. Božo Vrećo, the most revolutionary artist in the Balkans, perfectly embodies the soul of this “innocent city”, seamlessly building bridges between the past and present, men and women, origins and regions. He teams up with Catalan musician Clara Peya to compose an ode to life in celebration of the love story between two cities, Sarajevo and Barcelona, who met during troubled times and have never parted company ever since.
