May 1998‚ the alert is given in a town of Kosovo‚ where Serbs and Albanese have been spying on each other for months. The soldiers are half an hour away. Piled into trailers‚ Vahide and her family immediately flee towards the North. Far from there‚ in a grey suburb‚ Antoine is killing time‚ dreaming between classes; until one winter evening when Vahide moves to the neighbourhood after an infernal exile. Shocked by the young woman’s testimony‚ Antoine and his gang rally to her aid and even go as far as planning a false kidnapping demanding her release from the detention centre.
