History


The 25-minute film took a year and a half to complete and premiered at Telluride Film Festival in September, 2007. The film is not autobiographical, but it addresses the breakdown of normal societal ties that people in Bosnia witnessed and that Mehmedinović said he could not have written about without experiencing.[1][2]


Plot


The Name of the Son is a film that looks at human conflicts in the present, brought about during personal clashes in the Bosnian War in 1994.

After escaping execution, Tarik, a Bosnian prisoner of war, immigrates to the United States looking to leave his past behind. The psychosis of the conflicts that war brought to him when coping with these in civilian life are very hard for him. Years later, the man who spared his life shows up on Tarik's doorstep asking for a favor. However, the two main protagonists' feelings of guilt and torment are brought to bear with near devastating consequences.
