Objective of this article is to describe Mihatovici as a Paradigm of Exile. Mihatovici is the biggest settlement of refugees in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thus, it is the paradigm of a refugee life. Number of "the missing" from Podrinje, after the genocide in Srebrenica is about 7,500. For a few years a team of forensics working in Tuzla has been digging out mass graves and collecting remains in order to make a database for the identification. The first impression when a person gets to Mihatovici is that it is a quite merry place. Loud folk music can be herd from the houses, there are many people on the street, many of them are young and all are laughing. Refugees postpone the beginning of mourning and instead they live one more day of their lives, as it was the last…It is showed how is to be married again to a killed or missing Husband… how goes with New Loves… Healing and Legal Significance of talking about a traumatizing event. The Beginning of Mourning is the Same as Death, Madness, or Loss of Control. Autor observed and described on this setting Myth about Odysseus, Fantasies of a Revenge and Mourning, Time Context and Fantasies of Oblivion. There are evidences about Cellular Level or "When a Body Speaks Obout a Trauma".
