Bosnië, 1997. De inwoonsters van Slavno, een door de oorlog verwoest dorp, hebben na de dood van hun mannen en vaders hun eigen bijzondere leefwereld weer opgebouwd waarin het gemis heel voelbaar is. Zonder het zelf te beseffen hebben ze van hun dorp een ideale wereld gemaakt. Op een dag duiken twee zakenmensen op die de dorpsbewoners een fikse som geld bieden voor hun dorp. De bewoonsters staan voor een dilemma: het voorstel aanvaarden waardoor ze hun levensvoorwaarden verbeteren maar ook hun ziel verliezen? Een plotse storm houdt de zakenmensen in Slavno vast en confronteert hen met een nog ernstiger probleem: de waarheid over de dood van hun geliefden.

Zin in vakantie? En wel naar een zonnige bestemming waar het goed wandelen of fietsen is? Toeractief zocht en vond acht fijne bestemmingen met een sportief arrangement. Bij Toeractief verlangen we, na een uurtje wandelen of op de fiets tegen de wind in, met druipneus en tintelende tenen, al stiekem naar de zon. U ook? Ook wij dachten bij Bosnië en Herzegovina eerder aan oorlog dan aan een vakantieparadijs. Totdat we een aantal foto's onder ogen kregen en meteen op pad wilden. Want hier 'ontmoet het westen het oosten', zijn afgelegen dorpjes waar men nog in traditionele klederdracht rondloopt en zie je een middeleeuwse abdij naast moskee met minaret. Ver weg van het massatoerisme, op een plek waar vrijwel niemand aan denkt, kunt u schitterend wandelen door ruige bergkloven en oerbossen met indrukwekkende watervallen en genieten van rustieke bergmeertjes.
