Short summary
This is story about love and tragedy. It takes
place in grim social setting of city outskirts. Badema, a seductive local girl,
meets Becir Kuduz who just had come out of prison. Neither the age diference
nor fact that Badema has a little girl of her own (without knowing who father
is) stops them from coming together, each with plans of their own. Kuduz dream
of starting up his own construction business, Badema wonts to work in local cafe
where it's fun and never boring.
But
Badema, is obviously a bit light-hearted and is no homebody. Kuduz, meanwhile, is a man plagued by tragedy,
torn by love, passion and jealousy. The two squabble and make up, then fight and
split up only to return, and so story unfolds until it reaches its inevitable
tragic end. And it would all be utterly banal and unimportant were it not for
fact that behind this tragedy lies pure, true love of two people who find each
other in this cruel world: Kuduz and Badema's five year old daughter Amela.
