The themes and the main characters in most of Žbanić's films, including the three works selected for this presentation, are focused solely on women, on the re-examining of relationships between women’s subjects and war experiences, the traumatic knot which Jasmila keeps revisiting persistently, questioning it again and again, always from a new angle.
In her film Red Rubber Boots, Jasmila follows with her camera a team of forensic experts exhuming mass graves in their search for the remains of war victims. The camera focuses on a young woman, the mother of two missing children. The procedure is the same as in the aforementioned After, After, when the camera finds the traumatized girl and starts following her.
