Aida is a translator for the peacekeeping forces in the summer of 1995, in Srebrenica. Her family is among the thousands of civilians seeking shelter in the UN camp. Aida learns that a terrible fate awaits her family and people, but can she do anything to stop it?

The other two films shortlisted for the award were: Flee by Danish director Jonas Poher Rasmussen and Great Freedom by Austrian director Sebastian Meise.

The winning film was chosen by combining a public vote and a vote by MEPs, with each weighed at 50%. The audience vote was open until 25 May, and MEPs could vote until 7 June.
