In the 90s, when the Serbian government forcibly removed students for opposing the curriculum, my grandfather and volunteers built new desks, ensuring education in Kosovo.

In September 1998, as the Kosovo war rages, British journalist Julius Strauss meets five-year-old Besnik Deliu, the survivor of a massacre that killed 23 of his family members. Julius forms a bond with the boy, visiting him often and bringing food, toys, and support. Over 20 years later, now living in the Canadian wilderness, Julius receives a message from Besnik asking to meet. He returns to Kosovo, and together they visit the massacre site where they finally learn the full truth about what happened that terrible day.
