In April 1992, the war starts in Yugoslavia. In the town of Visegrad (Eastern Bosnia), home of the famous bridge over the Drina, the school closes. From now on, Muslim and Serbian pupils who lived and studied together are separated. More than 25 years later, Budimir Zecevic, the school’s former director, and Djemila Krsmanovic, the teacher's widow, take their old Zastava and start the long journey to maybe bring the kids together again.

Nell'aprile 1992 scoppia la guerra in Jugoslavia. Nella città bosniaca orientale di Visegrad, dove si trova il famoso ponte sul fiume Drina, la scuola chiude. Da quel momento in poi, gli alunni musulmani e serbi che avevano vissuto e studiato insieme furono separati. Più di 25 anni dopo, Budimir Zecevic, ex preside della scuola, e Djemila Krsmanovic, vedova dell'insegnante, prendono la loro vecchia Zastava e iniziano il lungo viaggio per riunire forse di nuovo i bambini.
