Znam kako dišeš (I know your soul) (Episodes 1-2)

Prosecutor Nevena Murtazić, a single mother in the process of divorce, investigates the case of the suicide of a teenage boy from the same school as her son Dino. The case soon attracts negative publicity when the bereaved father complains about her slow progress. Nevena earns little sympathy from her supervisors or the public for her understaffed department. The case takes on personal urgency when Nevena suspects the school may be hiding abuse that affects other students. Consumed by concern for Dino, who’s also started to skip classes, Nevena is blindsided when the victim’s father accuses Dino of being one of the abusers. Driven by endless motherly love and personal responsibility, Nevena desperately tries to pull together facts under relentless pressure from all sides, trying to fight for the truth in a society where justice is defined by an economical and male-oriented political elite, only supported by a long-term colleague and admirer and a newbie who keeps reporting to her superior behind her back. But the fact finding that makes Nevena so good at her job ends up pitting her against her son she fears she can no longer trust.

A few years ago, I tried to talk to my 14-year-old daughter about the case of a boy’s suicide that happened in Sarajevo. I tried to explain how important it is to communicate if she ever has any problems. She looked deep into my eyes, as if I was seeing her for the first time, and said, “I would never tell you if I had similar problems because I have my dignity.” Suddenly, I realized that the umbilical cord had been permanently cut, and I hadn’t noticed. There stood a person I obviously didn’t know well enough. I couldn’t stop thinking: how well do we really know our children? How accepting are we of their different value systems? How much do we trust them? Especially now, when we live in a society of lost trust in institutions, information, and facts. Or has it always been this way, and we simply didn’t talk about it because we wanted to preserve our dignity?
