This is a film that tells us what can take place in a 10 minute period. It focuses on a man, going to a ten minute photo shop. While he waits, we cut to the streets of Sarajevo where a boy tries to get water for his family. There are snipers in the area and shelling is taking place. The results can be devastating. Men form sandbag bunkers, rifles at their sides, as the boy rushes by. I had forgotten what took place back then. This is poignant and horrifying.

Italian cinema has deeply influenced world cinema through its socially conscious realism and modernist experimentation, but it also flourished in popular genres like peplum (sword & sandal), giallo thrillers, and broad comedies. Its narratives often weave together politics, contemporary social change, class consciousness, and family dynamics, balancing artistic ambition with entertainment that resonated widely.

It's 1994. How different can ten minutes of a tourist in Rome and a family in the besieged Sarajevo be?
