The lives of six people, who seem to have nothing more in common than their faraway homelands, become inextricably linked in Amsterdam, the city they have chosen as their new home.

A deep dive into the Bosnian War, that tore the country apart at the dawn of the 1990s, A Life’s Worth explores with intensity the unimaginable dilemma faced by the peacekeepers sent to the region, unable to intervene in a conflict that was beyond their control. A gripping series and a much-needed look back at one of the most violent wars in recent European history, prompting an essential discussion about the weight of commitment, interventionism, and the cost of peace.

Four men in their forties, in Sarajevo, deal with every day issues, while trying to form a band, and hanging out in local pub.

A police officer Hamza has to work that night even though his wife has gone into labour, because the police are short-staffed. To make everything worse, it seems that people showing up at the station have decided to prove the old belief about the mysterious powers of the full moon and its influence on human behaviour. In the course of that one night, representatives of all the absurdity and tragedy of life in Bosnia and Herzegovina parade through the station and somehow help Hamza get ready for a new life.

The director's fascination is the parallel world which exists behind the doors of big shopping malls. It is as if behind those doors everyday human problems do not exist. Yet, as we spend money, we all have to go back, through the same door, back to reality.

In 1994, a young family of Bosnian refugees find themselves in a little Dutch village after receiving their residence permit. Absurd situations occur as they attempt to turn this new world into their home.

A young filmmaker, a seemingly unemployed woman, a indoor swimming pool, and a film about itself.

A family that fled war-stricken Bosnia 30 years ago lives on a farm in Croatia. As a storm rages outside, they find a stranger hiding in their barn. The woman is convinced that he is a refugee and wants to help him, but her xenophobic husband opposes the idea. Their 10-year-old son finds himself torn between the kindness of a good Samaritan and cruelty.
