Synopsis
After their father was conscripted during the Kosovo War and the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia, three sisters – Sonja (17), Dragana (15) and Tijana (7) start recording a Hi8 video diary in their home in Vrnjačka Banja. They film each other putting on make-up, picking cherries, playing board games and throwing parties, getting into heated arguments and helping their mother cook. The fragile, intimate world of the teenagers’ everyday life is the only thing protecting them from the harsh external reality of bombs, sirens and war.
