They live in Sarajevo, a transitional society that has lost its moral compass, including in the way it treats children of the people who were killed fighting for the freedom of their city. After crime-prone adolescent years, Rahima has found comfort in Islam and she hopes her brother will follow in her footsteps. Their life of bare survival becomes even more difficult after Nedim gets into a fistfight with the son of a local strongman and breaks his expensive mobile phone. This incident triggers a chain of events leading Rahima to the discovery that her brother leads a double life. *** Rahima, 23 ans, et son frère Nedim, 14 ans, sont des orphelins de la guerre de Bosnie. Ils habitent à Sarajevo, dans cette société transitoire qui a perdu toute compassion pour les enfants de ceux qui sont morts pendant le siège de la ville. Après une adolescence délinquante, Rahima a trouvé un réconfort dans l’Islam et elle espère que son frère suivra ses pas. Leur vie se complique lorsqu’à l’école, Nedim se bagarre violemment avec le fils d’un puissant ministre du pays. Cet incident déclenche une série d’évènements qui permettront à Rahima de découvrir que son jeune frère mène une double vie... Aida Begić was born in Sarajevo in 1976.
