Grbavica is a 2006 film by Jasmila Žbanić about the life of a single mother in contemporary Sarajevo in the aftermath of systematic rapes of Bosniak women by Serbian soldiers during the Bosnian War.

The film shows, through the eyes of the main character Esma, her teenage daughter Sara, and others, how everyday life is still being shaped by the Bosnian War of the 1990s.

The situation grows more complicated when students who can provide a certificate proving that they are the offspring of war heroes can go on the field trip for free.

Shocked and bewildered when she discovers she is not mentioned as the child of a war hero on the list of pupils going on the school trip, Sara lashes out at Samir.

Esma breaks down and finally admits that she was raped at a prisoner camp and forced to have the child who resulted from this violation.
