As long as there are wars, there will be warriors. Even though the topic of this film is
applicable to all the post-war societies and individuals, this is a story of 1992-1995 war
veterans of Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Following the life stories of three men who regularly meet at group therapy sessions, the
film shows how the PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) affects a human's mind. Also,
through the confessions of the main characters it questions the system of values in
"post-war“society.

normal for him even today. He was wounded four times. Two times in war and two times in
peace-time.
Aleksandar is ex Special Forces. Although has could be wealthy member of local mafia he
decided to commit his life to his family. Today he is working as an illegal taxi driver
dreaming about any legal job.
Muhamed is an ex artist. He was making for living as a singer and guitar player. Today,
his PTSP destroy any will for normal life. He is forced to make for living by singing in
the restaurants. At the same time his psychological state is one step from the suicide.
"Fantasy“ is a film that visually weaves two different, parallel stories. The
first one is story about a fantasy that the psychiatrist and therapists practice as a
therapy for the mentally diseased and the second one is story about the life of people
having PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Patients at the therapeutic session
ultimately reveal their fantasies and the viewer can keep his own for himself.
