Adis and Kerim, two young boys, seven and nine years old, have found refuge in Hamza′s place, a poet whose wife and daughter have left Srajevo. Adis and his brother have lost their whole family but an aunt, Aicha, a refugee in Germany. Since Hamza cannot abandon the kids, finding the aunt becomes urgent. Day after day, the poet and the kids learn how to live together, to discover themselves, to love each other, and to dream. And the warmth of this love helps them to overcome the difficulties of everyday life in a city in ruins. In spite of the lack of food, they bring in a wounded dog that becomes a new friend to the young boys. Finally Hamza receives news of the aunt Aicha and starts to prepare the departure of the kids for Hranisca. From there they will be able to leave for Germany. But Adis and Kerim, who found in Hamza′a affection the comfort of a home, accept their departure reluctantly.
