Quo Vadis, Aida? DVD

A United Nations translator attempts to save the lives of her family, whilst pandemonium and escalating conflict rages around them.

Bosnia, July 1995. Middle-aged Aida (Jasna Duricic) is an English teacher in the small mountain town of Srebrenica. When the Serbian army ignores a formal UN ultimatum and begins a series of round-ups and brazen shelling, Aida and her family find themselves among over 30,000 besieged citizens attempting to shelter in a UN peacekeeper-operated military base on the outskirts of town, designed to house only a few thousand. Aida's skills as a translator enable her to eventually bargain her husband and two sons inside, literally under the wire.

There, within the so-called safe zone, the harried and frantic Aida becomes party to the negotiations and to crucial information. While the support the UN can provide is crumbling, the situation intensifies with the arrival of vainglorious army commander Ratko Mladic (Boris Isakovic), accompanied by his own camera crew. What is on the horizon for Aida's family and people--rescue or death? Which moves should she make?
