Description: "A Father, A Son, A Holy Ghost" is a social and anthropological vision of the aftermath of war in former Yugoslavia. Writer and director Zelimir Gvardiol employs the triptych approach, presenting three separate scenarios that are connected by shared inevitability and intense misfortune. Three children with psyches that have been permanently altered through intense loss and destruction show a suffering that is simultaneously impossible and true. Part One: The story of a twenty-year-old boy. A deserter of the war in Bosnia and Hercegovina, the young man finds himself taking on the care of his half sisters and half brother after his stepmother is killed by the common father. Part Two: A sixteen year old whose life has been traumatized by both the divorce of his parents and the ensuing war. Part Three: An unborn child is deprived of health as a war breaks out just before his birth, a war which claims the life of his father and forces his mother to give birth in the sewerage.
