They try to adapt to the new historic conditions in their private as well as in their professional lives and to qualify for the next games. The film shows people who grow beyond their physical limits on a daily basis while around them political boundaries are pushed back and forth.

SAVA is a river movie, a documentary film and a 990 km journey downstream. Her flow connects and divides, a shared thread through young nations and the hard border between them. SAVA acts as a vehicle for wandering the complex world of post-Yugoslavia - exploring a human relationship with nature, identity and nationhood. Her voice (Mira Furlan) connects the memories and dreams of 14 souls who share their stories on her banks. As rivers flow on, nations change, politics fluctuate and in a time of great division SAVA offers a compassionate, connected perspective of our complex world and all who live in it

Ex-East, ex-West, the Cold War and a great love affair. How was it? How did it feel? There are films that rely on images and archive and then there are the films that simply recreate everything without further ado in playful detail. A film that crosses borders, with tongue in cheek humour that is one thing above all: a great love story.
