Based on testimonies of survivors, the film tells the story of a little girl Dara, who is sent during the Holocaust to the extermination camp complex of Jasenovac, one of the Croatian fascist organisation Ustaše's concentration camps, where the Serbs were sent after the Kozara Offensive.

The main characters are played by Biljana Čekić, Vuk Kostić, Marko Janketić, Igor Đorđević and Radoslav Milenković.

The film is a Serbian coproduction, produced by Dandelion Production Inc in coproduction with Film Danas and Komuna. It was supported by the Serbian Ministry of Culture and Information and Film Center Serbia.

Dara in Jasenovac was supposed to premiere at the beginning of 2020 in order to commemorate 75 years from the escape of the remaining prisoners from the camp, but the release was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The nominations for the 93rd Academy Awards will be announced on 15 March 2021.
