Contents Summary
This is a collage of two-minute reports from Sarajevo, beginning with the 671st day of siege. Each report focuses on different aspects of everyday life of the residents of one street, showing how they cope with losing loved ones in massacres, how they deal with the lack of food, how children get education during the war, how elderly people cope, how pre-natal classes are organized for pregnant women, residents awaiting NATO intervention on the Serb positions, and how people's lives are improved by the NATO ultimatum that resulted in Serbs withdrawing their heavy artillery around Sarajevo.
