Glück, a film by Šejla Kamerić, was produced while she was on a scholarship at the DAAD in Berlin. One of the scenes may be reminiscent of the images and experiences seen during the siege of Sarajevo (1992–1995), which went on for almost 1,400 days during the Bosnian War. In a city terrorized by snipers, going out to fetch water was a necessity that could cost people their lives. Against the backdrop of snow-covered Berlin, the absurdity of this activity makes it seem to be a traumatic yet liberating experience.
