Thirteen year-old Alex went on vacation to Serbia. For four years, he was unable to return home to the country where he was born. He stayed on "vacation" for twenty years. Nisveta arrived from Bosnia thirty years ago. After the independence, she gave birth to a daughter who did not officially exist for the first two years of her life. When she was a teenager, Katarina lost her parents, her flat, and her documents… Three stories of young people whom the state of Slovenia erased from all records in February 1992, just over half a year after it gained independence. They became the so-called "erased". So did approximately 20.000 others.
