Contents/Summary
- Summary
- The film takes place during the NATO bombing of Belgrade in May 1999. The story focuses on a group of young people living in the same building in the Belgrade suburb. They are trying to continue to live as normally as possible with the bombing influencing many aspects of their lives – from family matters, love troubles to existential issues. One day Kaja, divorced ex-professional basketball player, comes up with the idea of re-building a local basketball court ruined by the NATO bombs. At first the suggestion is perceived as foolish, but soon all of the youngsters and even some elders including parents, seemingly uninterested viewers, local cigarette smuggler and a nearby hostile street gang are attracted by the idea. The new joint effort has a particularly positive impact on Kaja’s son, temporarily mute because of the explosions, who stays at Kaja’s place as his ex wife is busy getting the visa for the two of them to flee to Italy. The basketball courtyard is successfully reconstructed, only to be demolished again in the tragic end.
