An Episode in the Life of an Iron Picker

Danis Tanović, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2013

No English subtitles are available for this movie
A Roma family living far away from the urban centres of
Bosnia-
Herzegovina. The father Nazif salvages metal from old cars
and sells it to a scrap-dealer. The mother Senada keeps the house tidy,
cooks, bakes and cares for their two small daughters. One day, she feels
a sharp pain in her abdomen. At the clinic she is told there is something
wrong with the baby she is carrying: "They say it’s dead." She is at risk
of septicaemia and they must operate immediately. But Senada has no
medical insurance; since the operation will cost much more than the
family can afford the hospital’s head refuses to treat her. A race against
time and Senada’s mounting sense of hopelessness begins ...
Danis Tanović weaves these dramatic events, his protagonists’ economic
hardship and fear of death into a wintery tale. The fact that the
non-professional cast are re-enacting an episode from their own lives
contributes greatly to the film’s sense of authenticity and social realism.
At the same time, the film demonstrates one Roma family’s extraordinary
courage and unerring will to survive.

Luna and Amar are a couple. Their relationship is under great strain. First of all, Amar loses his job for being drunk at work. Luna is very worried and has little hope of realising her fragile dream of having a child with Amar. But her fears for their future increase when Amar takes on a well-paid job in a Muslim community hours away from where they live.Only after quite some time has elapsed during which they have had no contact with each other, is Luna allowed to visit Amar in this community of conservative Wahhabis in its idyllic lakeside location. She notices that the men and veiled women live in strict segregation and are closely watched. Luna asks Amar to return home with her but Amar insists that life in this isolated community of faithful followers has brought him peace and also keeps him from drinking. When he returns home a few weeks later, Luna realises that Amar’s attitude to religion has fundamentally changed. Amar claims that his only interest is to become a better person, but Luna finds it extremely difficult to follow his line of thinking. She begins to question everything that she has believed in, even her desire to have a child. As the wounds of a tragic war-filled past continue to haunt her, Luna tears herself apart searching if love is truly enough to keep her and Amar together on the path to a lifetime of happiness.
