Between Days is a short film by Nizar Pasalic: 

After leaving their home in Bosnia because of the Yugoslavian war in the beginning of the 90’s, Abdulah Kadenic and his wife Sehaveta ended up in Norway. They lived there for 12 years until Sehavata got ill. Due to not understanding the language very well and because they never really felt at home in Norway they decided to move back to Bosnia. Abdulah now lives in Sarajevo while Sehaveta stays at a nursing home 90 kilometers from there in the city of Travnik. Every week he visits her.

After his visit to Sehaveta, Abdulah writes his diary, and looks at the photos he has of him and his wife, their children and grandchildren. He says: 

“When I am all alone and by myself. In my apartment. I look at the pictures of my children and grandchildren. Happily, I talk to them. And I tell myself that life is filled with something beautiful. But everything is connected to my wife, who is not here with me. The one who reminds me of all the beautiful things in life. Love, children and grandchildren.”
