Armin

Middle-aged Ibro (Emir Hadžihafizbegović) and his son Armin (Armin Omerović) travel from a small Bosnian place to Zagreb.

During their travel, Ibro is very excited – he talks to everybody, boasts about Armin, a 14-yearl-old adolescent, who barely speaks to him.
Armin is embarrassed, and asks his father to stop acting like that. Still, Ibro wants to make it known that he takes his son to an audition for a film directed by a German (Jens Munchow) in Zagreb.
After their bus breaks down, they get to Zagreb hitchhiking.
Armin is impressed with the big city. Audition does not go well for Armin, because he is too old for the part. Yet, Ibro pleads with the director to see Armin playing his accordion…
