Fifteen-year-old Iman finds herself in a turmoil when a rumour about her having slept with an older boy spreads in her school. Desperate to be taken seriously she further fuels the rumour to the point where her actions jeopardise the excursion to mark the end of primary school that her classmates are looking forward to.

« An audacious, courageous and aesthetically poetic film in which the protagonist’s emotions become glowing embers, Excursion lends a voice to youngsters who are too often rendered speechless. » (Cineuropa)

« Una Gunjak’s sensitive, richly textured Bosnian coming-of-ager about a lie's repercussions questions sexual double standards in a society of repressed fears. » (The Film Verdict)
