Yugoslavia is no more, and war rages on in Croatia against Serbia. Seemingly untouched by the violence, Ana has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl. The hospital, however, has no record of Ana’s existence. Ana must remain in the hospital until her documents are settled, but her patience wears thin and she attempts to escape with her baby. When held by police, she learns that although she has lived in Slovenia her entire life, new borders dictate Ana is an illegal immigrant and she will soon be deported to war-torn Croatia—without her newborn daughter. While the hospital forbids Ana from visiting her daughter until her citizenship is resolved, Ana desperately searches for help among social service agencies, estranged family members, and even the media. With the nation in political turmoil, it will take a major sacrifice to overcome the fear of government backlash. Eye-opening and heartbreaking, ERASED depicts a courageous mother determined to stand up to her country for the sake of her daughter. (In Slovenian with subtitles) —A.B.
