"We are the future, Drita. You and me, Albanian and Serb, good friends. It's the way it must be in Kosovo."
When I think of how innocent we were, it makes me cry.
It's early in 1999 when Drita, an Albanian, and Zoran, a Serb, become friends. They're just like any other teenagers. But this is Kosovo, and Serb-Albanian tension is rising. Drita and Zoran find that their families are now enemies and the couple are forced to meet in secret. The events that follow are enough to blow apart even the strongest of friendships and Drita and Zoran are about to begin a fight for their lives. Will their friendship survive?
