Arber is haunted by nightmares of Kosovo. Since leaving for London at the height of the conflict, Arber has tried to rebuild his life but thoughts of the traumatic events are never far away. Graphic memories of troops storming the family house in search of his father, holding his young brother at gunpoint and raping his mother, make adjusting to a carefree life in London increasingly impossible.
A successful college career and a new relationship are not enough to release Arber from the torment of his memories. His regrets at being unable to prevent the events of that fateful day have turned to self-hatred and loathing with often destructive consequences.
Can Arber overcome the scars left by his past to rebuild his life and save his fledgling relationship? Or will his anger overcome the positive forces and lead him into the underworld of London’s streets? Don’t miss this brutally honest and thought provoking drama looking at the long-term and hidden effects of conflict on young minds.
