Remake is a 2003 Bosnian film from directed by Dino Mustafić. The film depicts tragic stories of father and son interwoven with refinement. With restrained acting, the flowing transitions between the flashbacks and the clever cutting make “Remake” a penetrating film experience.

Plot

With an interval of fifty years in between, the film brings the experience of the start of the Siege of Sarajevo. “Remake” tells three tragic stories in one. The first is about the young Bosniak Tarik, who manages to get out of the besieged Sarajevo, where he was violently separated from his aged father. He reaches Paris in 1993, where he starts working on a film script about the life of his father Ahmed, who experienced the outbreak of the Second World War in Sarajevo. Remake is however more than a war film. It is also a coming-of-age drama, with scenes in which Ahmed and Tarik (with an intervening period of fifty years) go out with their friends, have fun, fall in love.
