'Sevap/Mitzvah' (A Good Deed) is based on the true story of Muslim woman Zejneba Hardaga and her family who hid the Jewish Kabiljo family at their home and helped them escape Nazi-occupied Sarajevo in the 1940s.
Fifty years later, during the 1992-95 siege of Sarajevo, the Jewish community helped the Hardagas leave the city using fake Jewish identity cards and the Kabiljo family secured them a refuge in Israel.
