A family of four must live an everyday life while the world around them shatters during the armed conflict 2001. While the bombing is ongoing the parents are in a dilemma, protecting and sheltering their children inside their home or allowing them to play outside and have a childhood, while they’re still young enough to be shielded by their innocence and ignorance.
Whatever may happen, summer can not stop its flow. As the watermelons grow ripe, the tobacco leaves dry and turn to gold, colonies of ants gather their food, the clock never stops ticking, and the bombs continue to fall around the mountain of Ljuboten.
