April 1995. Twenty-two-year-old Arsim, a recently-married student, meets a young man named Milos, a Serb. Before the day is out, everything has changed for both of them. Arsim and Milos's unlikely affair is derailed by the outbreak of war, which sends Arsim's fledgling family abroad and the timid Milos spiraling down a dark path. Years later, deported back to Pristina after a spell in prison, Arsim, alone and hopeless, finds himself in a broken reality that completely questions his past.
