A harsh dose of cinematic realism about a harsh time-the Bosnian War of the 1990s-Juanita Wilson's drama is taken from true stories revealed during the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague. Samira is a modern schoolteacher in Sarajevo who takes a job in a small country village just as the war is beginning to ramp up. When Serbian soldiers overrun the village, shoot the men and keep the women as laborers (the older ones) and sex objects (the younger ones), Samira is subjected to the basest form of treatment imaginable
In a small town in Ireland, a teenage girl attempts to strangle a baby. Shortly after being called in to meet and analyze the girl, psychiatrist Jane Morton (Clarice Van Houten of BLACK BOOK and VALKYRIE) is convinced the young woman suffers from some sort of personality disorder. But when the troubled girl starts speaking to Jane in the voice of her recently deceased son, she may have to reconsider. Just when viewers think they have it pegged, this twist-filled thriller eludes predictability.
