Jan Leyers experiences how liberal Bosnian Islam is. In Sarajevo he is shaved and massaged by a veiled barbershop owner. In the same city he meets two sisters, both successful fashion designers. They are the epitome of the diversity of Bosnian Islam. One wears a veil, the other does not. They make a passionate plea to be embraced by the rest of Europe as European Muslims. When Bosnia declared its independence in 1992, a bloody civil war broke out. In a genocide in Srebrenica more than 8,000 Muslim men lost their lives. Leyers is introduced to Ahmed, a young imam, whose father is one of the victims. He and his family recently returned there. How does he deal with the past and how does he see the future?
