Film Synopsis:

Hazira survived the Srebrenica massacre 30 years ago. Trapped in limbo within her own country, Hazira's life unfolds in the Ježevac camp near Tuzla—far from the mountain village she fled, now part of the Serbian entity. With biting dark humor and unwavering resilience, Hazira navigates the monotony and hardship of displacement—chopping wood, scrubbing every surface, always in motion to keep the past at bay. Her daily rituals are both a coping mechanism and a quiet protest against a trauma that never fades and a system that has left her behind. As Bosnia and Herzegovina marks three decades since the end of war and the genocide at Srebrenica, Ceasefire offers a tribute to those still living its aftermath. A reflection on survival, memory, and the cost of unresolved history, the film asks: how long can one live in the shadow of a war that never really ended?
