An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker (2013)
Nazif, rentrant de son travail, voit sa femme Senada se tordre de douleur. Le médecin leur apprend que l'enfant à naître est mort et qu'elle doit absolument se faire opérer de toute urgence. Mais la clinique de la région refuse de pratiquer l'opération car le couple n'a ni argent, ni assurance. Lorsque Danis Tanovic lit un reportage sur cette histoire, il est emporté par l'indignation et décide d'en faire un film. Ainsi est né An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker. Suite
