Zrnec explained that he initially watched the film twice, with the second viewing occurring with his daughters. During his initial viewing in Sarajevo, Zrnec stated he was so moved he remained silent for two days.

He added that he had already watched the film previously. The actor’s reflections highlight the enduring power of the narrative and his personal engagement with the story’s central themes.
