- The case of the Erased People of Slovenia is the biggest systematic policy of violence against human rights in the history of the European Union: in 1992. the Slovenian government removed 25,671 people from the official records, among them 6,000 children. In this way these citizens, the Erased, lost all their civil rights. Their only "crime" was their ethnic origin. The fight to restore civil rights to these Erased Citizens ensued for the following 17 years. Leading this fight was Aleksandar Todorovic who, once the Erased Citizens won the legal battle for the restoration of their rights in 2009, attempted suicide, which suggests the full consequence of this struggle has yet to play out. It also asks the question: Who will pay the price for this democratic victory? Will it only be the weakest individuals, families left destitute, and children now lost? The Slovenian politicians who endorsed this xenophobic brand of politics for the past 17 years were amongst the highest ranking leaders of the European Union in 2008.
- A well-known Serbian filmmaker Zelimir Zilnik (winner of "Golden bear" in Berlin, 1969, for "Early works") goes to Slovenia to present his latest film at a festival. Accidentally he meets Janez Skok, a man who introduces himself as his relative. Zelimir is surprised because he knows nothing about his relatives: he was born in 1942 in a Nazi concentration camp in Nis and all members of his family were killed by Fascists. The conversation with Janez and his 96-year old mother raises the issue of the destiny of anti-fascism in post-communist countries and makes Zelimir visit the village of Kozja, close to the Serbian-Bulgarian border, where his father Konrad was decapitated by Chetniks. In the village Zelimir is able to hear a moving story about the last days of his father.
