Dva dana. Dve tragedije koje su zauvek promenile Srbiju. Od tada – brojimo godine, ali ne i odgovore. Strah je utihnuo, ali nije nestao. Deca su se vratila u klupe, život je nastavljen... ali pitanje je ostalo. Da li smo išta naučili? Da li smo postali bezbedniji – ili smo samo naučili da ćutimo? O onome što je ostalo posle, o traumi koju ne vidimo i društvu koje još traži odgovore – govore psiholog i univerzitetski profesor Žarko Trebješanin i profesor bezbednosti Goran Mandić.
