Are you looking for someone?

Dado.

- Dado who?

Dado Delic.

Never heard of him.

- Do you live here?

- No, I'm just waiting for someone.

- Hey, you ready?

- Yeah, let's go.

He is looking for Dado Delic,

do you know him by any chance?

l know Dado, but he hasn't

lived here for a long time.

- He got married.

- Do you know where he lives now?

He lives not too far from here,

on Kasim Efendija street.

His wife's name is Selma.

- Take care.

- Good luck.

Earlier today by your entrance,

why did you tell that man you knew...

... some Dado?

- Because l do know him.

- From where?

He used to live in my building.

Were you friends?

We weren't really friends.

He was part of the older crowd.

The older kids didn't hang out

with us younger kids.

Sometimes they would send us

to buy beer or cigarettes,

or they would kick the football over

the fence and send us to fetch it.

Sweet fear.

He was strange, and a bit shy.

He never said hi to anyone.

Right at the beginning of the war,

his parents were killed.

His brother is a Bosniac war hero,

who died in the fighting.

Dado was also injured.

At one point,

he just lost it mentally.

He was gone.

I'm not sure how...

but he slowly recovered.

He met a girl,

and things seemed to get better.

They married and they moved away.

That's nice.

But I heard they got divorced.

So why did you send that man

to see his ex-wife?

l didn't know where else to send him.

Maybe you should have said

that you don't know him,

or at least

that you don't know where he is.

Maybe you're right.

Yes, hello.

Good day. ls Dado there?

Dado hasn't lived here

for seven or eight years.

Are you Selma?

No, I'm the new tenant here.

Do you know where they are now?

They divorced a while ago.

Selma died three years ago.

Last l heard, Dado went to Zljebovi.

Someone else told me

that he might be abroad.

We came to the refugee centre.

They gave us some pillows and linens.

They showed us our rooms.

We headed upstairs.

When we turned on the lights...

... I'd never seen a cockroach before.

And we turned the lights on,

and the cockroaches,

scurried away from the light.

My wife started crying.

Forty families, two washrooms.

l feel bad

for all those people coming here.

Those poor souls who came here.

Future cheap labour.

American, Canadian.

Same sh*t.

Capitalists.

I don't know anymore.

Are you listening to me?

Look at him, he's asleep.

l talk nonsense anyway.

President Josipovic congratulated me

on Serbia's efforts

to deal with organized crime,

and our continuing strong cooperation

with the Hague tribunal.

There was also discussion of

Serbia's EU membership talks.

Soon, we also hope to find

ourselves a part of the Union.

In Zljebovi, an unusual story

has been circling for years.

Dalibor Dado Delic, member of the

Republika Srpska division SK,

disappeared during the war.

But Zljebovi's residents claim

they still see him from time to time.

Yes, he did come.

About fifteen days ago.

He used that road.

Dado, along with other members of the division,

is on Interpol's list of wanted people.

He is also wanted by the Bosnian police for

war profiteering committed during the '90s.

I saw him about 15 days ago.

I saw him here,

by these large trees over there.

He was coming up that path

over there.

That's when l...

... continued working

and by the time I turned to see

if he was still there, he was gone.

Before that, l last saw him

three years ago.

While his uncle was still alive.

He was officially last seen

shortly after the war,

but the villagers of Zljebovi,

where some of Dado's family lived,

say that he still makes appearances

from time to time.

Police have been collecting stories

over the years.

No one spoke with him.

We just think it's him.

When we did see him years ago,

the man resembled Dado, or at least

the way we remember him.

His body has never been found, so some

still believe that he is abroad.

However, no evidence exists that

he ever legally re-entered Bosnia.

My name is Miro Kalinic.

l was born in 1973

in Trogir, Dalmatia.

ln Trogir, l went to elementary

school Rudjer Boskovic.

ln Split, l attended

secondary school.

My father is Jozo Kalinic.

Mother, Anica,

maiden name Dokic.

Parents never liked Ivana.

Ivana and l decided to go to Germany.

We left by boat for Italy.

From Ankona we went north by train.

ln Venice, we were caught

in a general strike.

We took advantage

of our bad luck and toured Venice.

ln Venice we met a truck driver.

He was transporting bars of soap.

With him, we went to Hamburg.

Ivana and l separated in 1994.

She left for the Netherlands.

ln 1995, mom and dad passed away.

ln 1997, l came to Montreal.

ln 1999, l moved to Toronto.

ln 2003, l moved to Toronto.

I've been to Montreal,

I liked it there.

It's a nice city.

Do you love Marina?

Yeah, I guess.

Why wouldn't l?

The more l think about it,

the more l realize

l shouldn't have come here.

l should have stayed

with Ivana in Germany.

You always... never mind.

Then why didn't you stay?

l couldn't fall in love

with anyone after Ivana.

Then why didn't you stay with her,

what was the problem?

Venice.

Venice f***ed us over.

What do you mean, Venice?

l don't understand anything.

We went to Italy from Croatia.

Then by train we headed north.

When we arrived in Venice,

we got caught in a general strike.
