Emir Kusturica's literary diaries, spanning the period from 1994 to 2018, share deeply personal—often cynical and contradictory—views on cinema, politics, and human nature.

The narrative begins during the collapse of Yugoslavia and the Bosnian War, when the director was working on the celebrated film "Underground," and moves forward two decades later. Kusturica emotionally experiences the tragedy of his homeland. He describes the absurdity of war and the pain of the loss of Sarajevo.

Kusturica discusses the differences between the "natural" and the "artificial" in cinema, the director's role as an alchemist, and the difficulties of filmmaking during a profound crisis. Throughout the narrative, Kusturica asks the question, "Do I need it?", reflecting on the meaning of his actions, the role of an artist in turbulent times, and the desire to avoid failure, both moral and financial—and immediately answers affirmatively.
