What happens

Mostar Round-Trip (Hebrew: מוסטאר הלוך ושוב) is a 2011 Israeli documentary film, a Fisher Features Ltd. release directed and produced by David Fisher. The film follows his son, Yuval and his classmates who are studying in an international high-school, United World College in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The film exposes the recuperating city, which has been greatly damaged during the Bosnian War and is now geographically divided between the Bosniak and Croat populations. This is the second film in the family trilogy created by Fisher that started with the critically acclaimed Love Inventory (2000) and completed by Six Million and One (2011).
