Thirty years after the Srebrenica genocide, six Dutch veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder reunite in a cabin on the very site where it all happened. Overwhelmed by the guilt that has shaped their lives, they return to confront survivors and grapple with their own trauma, where memory and reality blur. The film follows their emotional journey, interweaving unseen archival footage with a haunting question: did they truly do everything they could?
