Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Afterwar is a feature-length sequel to Birgitte Stærmose's award-winning 2009 short documentary Ønskebørn (Out of Love), about children selling cigarettes and peanuts on the streets of Pristina after the Kosovo War. Stærmose stayed in contact with them and followed their social media activity, which gave her the idea for a follow-up project.
