Field Trip (Terenska nastava)

Every year, over 35,000 students from elementary schools across Croatia visit the city of Vukovar as part of the Memorial Center of the Homeland War program. The film follows an eighth-grade class on this trip, documenting their entire journey, from departure to their return home. Initially, the dynamics among the students unfolds. However, when confronted with the wartime events of the 1990s in Vukovar, will their curiosity and the respect that this trip is meant to instill take precedence, or will their focus remain on adolescent relationships typical of their age? On a secondary level, the film explores how education shapes collective memory and questions whether memorial centers are an effective way to honor victims.
