Description: For young Aleksandar - the best magician in the non-aligned states and painter of unfinished things - life is endowed with a mythic quality in the Bosnian town of Višegrad. When the shadow of war spreads, Aleksandar goes with his family to Germany. Years later, he returns to find out what became of the life he left behind.
