Festival history
During the war, a group of mentally deranged patients fled the institution in the Bosnian village of Jakes. Since the war has ended, nobody has claimed them back. They pass their days in an anonymous intitution in Hungary. Their family back home in Bosnia isn't able to help them to return or don't care to do so. Nevertheless, Radomir, Mileta and Jela are remarkable people that long to go back home. FORGOTTEN FOOLS offers an impressive view on human dignity, the importance of hope in awfully bad circumstances and the strength of people determined to survive.
