Landslide

What happens when, in the blink of an eye, the life you know no longer exists?

Vesna is thirteen and visiting her aunt and uncle in the mountains when her reality is abruptly turned on its end by the attack of enemy aircraft. All but cut off from the outside world, the secluded village begins to feel more like a prison than a refuge. Desperate to return home, she embarks on a perilous journey, accompanied only by her own fierce determination and the boy she befriends along the way, who somehow has the ability to look beyond the desolation and find magic even in a broken world. But can she find the way home, and will there even be a home at the end of the road?

Set against the backdrop of the Croatian War of Independence, this is the story of two young people coming of age in a fractured land. In a place where violence is abundant, nothing is certain, and children are forced to grow up too fast, the line between reality and imagination begins to blur. And when the smoke clears, the question remains – what is real, and what is merely a fantasy? How do you build a new life, when you are no longer sure who you really are?
