About When Father Was Away on Business
In a post-WWII Yugoslavia still under Stalinist rule in the 1950s, six-year-old Malik is oblivious as to why his father, Mehmed, has suddenly disappeared.
In truth, Mehmed has been sent to a labor camp as punishment for acts of sexual indiscretion involving young girls.
Malik's mother, Senija, however, has no answers, and the family must cope in the father's absence.
