1999: civil war in Kosovo. First the
Serbian-Yugoslavian troops massacred the Albanians who had been resisting
domination by Serbia.
The West intervened and the NATO bombed Serbia and parts of the Kosovo
for 78 days.
This
was followed by acts of retaliation by the Albanians against the Serbians.
The most expensive mission in the history of the UNO began. Up to the present
day a small Serbian minority, comprising only five per cent of the total
population, is only able to live in Kosovo under the protection of an
international peace corps. Kosovo 2007: Labinot, Lorenc and Milica - three
youths eight years after the civil war. They want nothing more than to live
as normal teenagers, to dance, laugh and flirt. But the wounds inflicted by
the war are very deep. For two years the documentation accompanies Milica,
Labinot and Lorenc in their everyday life. It showcases the difficulties,
contradictions and insurmountable obstacles, but also the glimmers of hope
and portrays the fate of these young individuals in their attempt to forget
the war and to grow up in the midst of this upheaval.
