Granica, Grenze, Border - dividing line between two religions, two cultures, between majoritarian Serbian and Croatian areas - was filmed in Žitnic, Drniš, Šibenik and Tepljuh (Croatia) in 2008, in locations around the temporary border of the internationally not recognized 'Republic of Serbian Krajina', which was one of the focal points in the Yugoslavian/Croatian war.

Twelve years after the end of the conflict, the traces of altercation are still present. Delapidated, destroyed houses act as unintentional memorials, warding off oblivion. The former inhabitants or their heirs return only slowly to the area rendered improvident by the war. What persists are half abandoned villages and scarcely inhabited cities in the hinterland, off the beaten track, which still haven't recovered from the times of war.
