Synopsis by Mark Deming
Hungarian filmmaker Ferenc Moldovanyi directed this personal look at the toll the war between Serbs and Albanians has taken on the children of Kosovo. Children from a variety of political and ethnic allegiances speak of the violence they've seen, and how the fighting has ripped apart their families and their lives, often taking friends and family from them and leaving them with a shattered sense of their identity and a troubling picture of their homeland. Financed in part by Hungarian and Belgian television outlets, Detsa -- Femijet was screened in competition at the 2001 Berlin Film Festival.
