A SIEGE
In 1994, Sarajevo is a city under siege: there’s no water, no electricity, and no food. Despite the horrible conditions, Tea Mikic manages to keep going. After losing her husband to the war, she has become completely self-sufficient. She wants to get ready for something in the morning, so she decides to wash her hair, even though all her supplies are gone. She sets off on a desperate journey to find water, and neither her neighbors nor sniper fire can stop her.
