The Erl king
Spring of 1999, Serbia. Nine-year-old Sava and his mother live in a Belgrade highrise. His father is absent, working on a cargo ship sailing the world’s seas. This relatively normal life is disrupted by the onset of the air-strikes on FR Yugoslavia. As the bombing raids also begin in a general atmosphere of tension, disbelief and despair, which radically change Sava’s life. His school is closed down, the air raid shelter becomes his second home, and Milica, the young daughter of the local priest that he’s in love with, leaves the country with her mother and sisters.
