"No going back, no moving forward: in the aftermath of the Balkan
wars of the 1990s, and in search of residency visas, Tanja Ludic and her
pupils land in the Department of Slavonic Languages and Literature at
the University of Amsterdam.
There Tanja must teach the
literature of ex-Yugoslavia to ex-Yugoslavs. Adrift in a safe Dutch
limbo, they struggle not only to make ends meet but to make sense of
their displacement.
Tanja chooses to lead her students on a
course in 'Yugonostalgia'. and these shared, knowing rememberances of a
vanished era temporarily infuse them with new vitality. But their
fragile classroom bonds unravel when tragic events force them all to
deal face-to-face with the consequences of the violent disintegration of
their homeland."
