Araf is a road movie and diary of a ghostly character, Nayia, who travels between Mostar, Sarajevo and Srebrenica. The film is guided by her diary notes, which merge with the myth of Daedalus and Icarus - Icarus being the name given to the winner of a bridge diving competition in Mostar. The story of Icarus and Daedalus is symbolic of man’s over-ambition and inevitable failure. But Nayia also sees the optimism of such a leap, braveness of diving into the unknown in this era of radical instability. Araf thus traces these paradoxes - that of terror and standstill, the friction between displacement and permanence. |
