‘Hospital Incognito’ – In 1978 the communist authorities decided to build Clinical hospital in Mostar. As soon as the first construction works started, the political and then the bleeding disintegration of the former Yugoslavia began. Unfinished ground floor of the Clinical hospital turned into surgical department, shelter and supply room for medications and medicine equipment. Over 5 000 human lives, regardless of nationality and age, was saved with a superhuman effort in the basement spaces of the hospital. After thirty years, three states, two political systems and one bloody war...the construction of the hospital has finally been finishing. ‘Hospital Incognito’ is a demonstration of the history of the society. It is a story about great heroes, enthusiasts that sacrificed themselves for salvation of lives and the future of others. It is a story about solidarity, health, sickness, life and death... 

‘Curiosity’ - In the second half of the nineties, in a small Herzegovinian place, people became witnesses of the apparition of an angel, a man with a white beard, crosses, Our Lady and Jesus Christ. On the window of a house that was located at a solitary place, the crowd saw biblical motives and witnessed directly to the camera about the things they saw. A lot of curious people from the entire region made a pilgrimage to the place of apparition and amazingly watched the changes that happened inside the window frame. The film shows the emotions of the people during the apparition and the atmosphere that was in the surroundings. Unlike the apparitions acknowledged by the Catholic Church, where only individuals are the witnesses of the apparition, the film shows the apparition where the most of the crowd are visionaries.
