Pristina, Kosovo, late 1990s. As war looms and ethnic tensions escalate, 13-year-old Dua struggles to find her place amongst her people and within her own changing body. Following an incident that shocks her community, she herself becomes a target and forms a bond with a fearless girl, Maki, who draws her into an unexpected form of resistance. Amidst daily violence and the growing threat of exile, there is little room left for small, intimate awakenings.
