Croatian Programme - Minority Co-Production

Nine-year-old Aga lives with his mother and four other women in a remote mountain location in Kosovo. Aga tries to make some money by selling cigarettes, but his main goal is continuing to search for his missing father. The only male figure in his life is Cera, who is brutal and harsh even though he keeps an eye out for Aga, who is too young to understand the reason why he lives in the current location with all the women. When an unexpected emergency arises, Aga is forced to help out, which sets in motion a sequence of events that exposes him to the truth.
