Una is now developing her feature project Alfa, the story of a woman who wanted to save her family but ended up losing herself. Set during the Bosnian War, inspired by her own experience, Alfa follows Azra, a mother who decides to flee the country with her 15-year-old son to find refuge in Alfa, a drug rehab commune in Italy. This is a strong, visceral and intense film, which raises questions about a woman’s role in the family and in society. Through this film, Una aims to explore the catastrophic impact of war on a human level and its wider sociological consequences.
