NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE A poetic and haunting film about the daily struggles of a group of children who grew up in war-torn Kosovo. A dark coming of age story filmed over a period of 15 years, which solemnly observes and reflects on the long-term repercussions of war. Birgitte Staermose expertly introduces performative interludes that highlight the intimate artistic collaboration with the film’s protagonists by giving them the space to address and confront the audience in their own terms. – Ruth Somalo
