Elma Revjadic, a Bosnian Muslim professor, is outraged when informed that one must willfully submit to sexual abuse to survive the Foca prisoner camp. Her resolve to fight for her honor is challenged when she is cornered alone in the home of Josip Kajivic, a Christian colonel. Elma: This Will Heal the World is the story of the sexual abuse of women in a modern-day war, the power of one woman with a sense of history, and the travails of a family who lost all but its peace of mind for proactively doing good.
