Synopsis
After the tragic events of 1997, Niku, 23 years old, lives in Tirana with his father, a man suffering from heart disease, and his beautiful mother. Honest and sensitive, Niku is looking for a job. He loves Klara and wants to build their common life in Albania, but the girl believes that their only salvation is abroad. Finally she leaves for Paris with Niku's friend Tare. Niku feels that everything around him is chaos: murders, departures for foreign countries... Everyone he knows is depressed and talks only about leaving. When his father dies, the boy is more and more lost. In a desolated field where children are playing with broken cars, he meets Klara, who came back to Tirana to look for him. In front of this destiny, they understand that they can love each other only in their country.
