Synopsis:

This film's center is a family in Albania. The main characters are Rudina, the oldest daughter, and Nik, the oldest son. Both have a pretty normal life. Rudina is an A-student in high-school and Nik very popular. He just fell in love with one of his fellow students. Their father earns the families income with a little bread delivery service. For that he uses a short cut through the neighbours ground, but the neighbour doesn't necessarily like that. But the ground had actually belonged to Rudina's and Nik's family once. One day the conflict escalates and the neighbour gets killed by Rudina's and Nik's father and their uncle. Because only their uncle gets caught by the police and their father is able to hide, the old law of blood feud is against the family. They cannot leave their house. Only the women of the family are allowed to leave the house. So Rudina has to quit school and continue the bread delivery service of the father, so the family can survive. The situation is tense as there seems to be no solution to the conflict.

Nik is an ordinary Albanian teenager. More interested in Facebook than his family's bread-delivery business, he has 2 simple dreams: to open an internet cafe and to win the heart of his classmate, Klodi. But his simple aspirations are rendered impossible after a long-standing feud between Niks father and a neighbour, which results in the neighbours murder. Niks father flees and the familys life is thrown into turmoil due to an ancient Albanian eye for an eye law, which more or less forces the family to remain inside their house for their own safety. The only one free to leave is Niks enterprising younger sister, Rudina, who continues to run the family business and provides precious contact with the outside world.
