Shooting for Mirza

Juan Gautier
Mirza Delibašić, a European basketball legend of the 70s, voluntarily stayed with his people during the Bosnian War instead of escaping with his family, becoming a symbol for his country. Today, his son Danko moves between admiration for his legacy, the weight of his shadow, and the hurt of his absence. A journey to rebuild his figure as a national hero will lead Danko to discover his own place as a father.
