Rob / A Slave Almir Ćehajić Batko je uspješan čovjek. Zubar, glumac, zabavljač, radijski i TV voditelj... Sve se mijenja u trenutku kada saznaje da će mu dijete umrijeti zbog urođene srčane mane ukoliko ne bude operirano u nekoj od renomiranih klinika. Posuđuje novac od koga god stigne, traži, moli, kumi... Ipak uspijeva nabaviti novac i djevojčica je operirana. Nažalost, ona ubrzo umire. Manje od dva sata nakon pokopa telefon počinje zvoniti. Sluđen nevjericom da mu u tom trenutku neko traži novac, uzima novac od lihvara kamatara, kako bi njime tim ‘prijateljima‘ ‘začepio usta’. Tada počinje pakao. Deset godina živi na rubu samoubistva. Ipak, uspijeva pronaći snagu i izvući se iz te situacije. Danas je svoj život posvetio radu u NVO koja se bavi prikupljanjem novca za ljude koji su se zatekli u situaciji sličnoj njegovoj. Spasio je više od stotinu ljudskih života. Pjer Žalica je rođen 1964. godine u Sarajevu.

Producirao je više kratkometražnih i jedan dugometražni film. Za svoj rad višestruko je nagrađivan u zemlji i inostranstvu. Član je Evropske filmske akademije i Nadzornog odbora Filmskog centra Sarajevo. E Almir Ćehajić, a.k.a. Batko, is a successful man: a dentist, actor, entertainer, radio and TV host, etc. Everything changes the moment he finds out that his daughter will die because of a congenital heart defect unless she is operated on in a prestigious clinic. He borrows as much money as he can—seeking, begging, pleading... He manages to put the money together and the girl receives the operation. Unfortunately, she passes away soon afterwards. Less than two hours after the funeral, the telephone begins to ring. Incredulous at the fact that someone would ask for money at a time like that, he goes to a loan shark in order to “shut up” his “friends”. That is when his own personal hell begins. For ten years, he lives on the edge of suicide. Still, he manages to find the strength to extract himself from the situation. Today, he has dedicated his life to working for an NGO that collects money for people who have found themselves in a similar situation. He has saved over 100 lives.
