He realizes that this journey is his last chance to let go of his demons and find a peace of mind. He needs to ask for forgiveness from those he betrayed and hurt the most, but also from himself. Without forgiveness, Esad will never be able to find his way back to life. Unlike many other war criminals, Esad admits that he was never forced to commit those crimes, but he did it anyway. He understands that he must face the pain of the survivors, and hopes that he will be able to help them move on. In this film we meet Esad’s family, his victims and their relatives.
