Pour the Water as I Leave

2026 · 75 min

A haunting, dreamlike meditation on displacement and survival that lingers like a half-remembered story.

Tagline: We are a reflection of repeated histories.
Overview: A surreal exploration of the war in Bosnia told through the unbreakable spirit of seven of her people whose strength to leave was as powerful as the fight to stay. Through the lens of diaspora, the film captures not just the weight of displacement, but the defiant act of survival and the unwavering pursuit of home, no matter where the journey leads.
How it feels: Melancholic, eerie, earnest and dark. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: War, survival, isolation, memory
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
