Luna and Amar are a young Bosniak couple living in Sarajevo, carrying the heavy memories of the Bosnian War from the 1990s. Luna had witnessed the killing of her parents by an anti-Muslim militia in Bijeljina and arrived in Sarajevo as a child refugee with her grandparents. Amar, who served as a soldier during the conflict, carries the loss of his brother as part of his past. Despite these traumas, they have built what seems like a stable life: she works as an air hostess for B&H Airlines, and he is an air traffic controller at the Sarajevo International Airport. Their life together begins with a moment of closeness and passion, a reminder of how love can briefly feel healative amid long-standing scars.
