Bosnia, 11 July 1995. Aida lives in the small town of Srebrenica, where she works as an interpreter for the United Nations. When the Serbian army occupies the town, her family is among the thousands of civilians seeking refuge at the UN base. As an interpreter, and therefore a direct participant in the negotiations, Aida has access to vital information. What fate awaits her family and her people - will it be rescue or death? And what will she do herself?

After Quo Vadis, Aida? will be followed by a debate on the topic of war and migration by guests of Slovo 21, which will take place in Prague's Cinema Lucerna and will also be streamed live to the online world and to Ostrava's Cinema Etáž. The guests of the discussion are representatives of the Ukrainian minority Bohdan Rajcinec and the Bosnian minority Ognjen Grebo. The moderator of the discussion is Svetlana Witowská.

The screening and debate is organised by the European Parliament Office in cooperation with DEF as part of the 'Lux Film Days' of the European Parliament and the European Film Academy.
