“When you are given no more than 10 minutes of time in a film to support with your music, you have to be aware of the significance of every note and every musical phrase. Especially when the story you support carries within itself such a heavy emotional burden. From the very beginning of my collaboration with Jasmila Zbanic, it was clear that our aim will be to build a narrative bridge, connecting events which are hard to comprehend in isolation. It is my strong belief that music should remain silent when the scale of human evilness is revealed. War and genocide are not heroic or epic events and ought not be made easier to digest through the employment of music. However, even in this story, there is a glimmer of cautious hope in life in its purest, most basic form. This is where I found my connection to the main character and an entry point for my music. Hence my choice of restrained, repetitive motives and reduced orchestration, with only one final emotional paroxysm.” – Antoni Komasa-Łazarkiewicz
