Snow

“ Snow does not fall to cover the hill, but for every beast to leave its trail.” Bosnia, 1997. Four women, two old ladies, four girls, an old man and a boy live in the war torn village of Slavno. Their families have been killed and their bodies never found. Trying to keep themselves alive by keeping all memories and their dreams, they have made a dreamland out of their village without even being aware of it. But still, they are fighting for existence. Alma, a stubborn young woman in her late twenties, believes they can not only survive but prosper by selling plum jam and other fruit and vegetable products on a deserted road. Slavno is remote from the rest of the world, but the first snow will bring the treat of total isolation and risk of death in the village. Two businessmen unexpectedly visit Slavno demanding the residents to leave the village offering money in return. The villagers face dilemma: should they accept the offer that could save their lives but destroy their soul?
