Burning buildings in a dense fog, a dead horse on a dusty road, people fleeing through harsh mountain landscapes. The end of war in Kosovo in 1999 gave us strong images and was a dark chapter in the history of modern Europe. After the war, children sell peanuts and cigarettes on the streets of Pristina in order to survive. In a cinematic testament co-created over 15 years, they transform into adults before our eyes, as the struggle to survive becomes a struggle for a future at all. They confront us with their innermost secrets and desires, while stuck in limbo and haunted by their past.
