While her class is preparing for an excursion, Sarajevo teenager Iman attracts the attention of an older boy. During a game of ‘truth or dare’ she invents a story that she had sex, but the rumor runs through the school and things spin out of control. Excursion is the long-awaited full-length debut of Bosnian director Una Gunjak, whose short The Chicken, ​​a Croatian co-production, won the EFA Award in 2014. Excursion premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, winning a Special Mention.
