A Ton of Ice Cream
On a cold April morning in a small village beneath the mountains, Milena hurriedly packs what remains of her family’s life as distant echoes of war creep into her home. With her young son Jovche, she leaves behind a house filled with memories, children’s toys, and a fragile sense of normality. Walking through narrow streets crowded with silence, the encounter with the neighbors who look like shadows to her and Jovche’s friend Arben becomes a wordless goodbye to the life they once knew. At the bus station, marked by the scars of violence where bullet holes spell out the word “death”, Milena hesitates between the safety of the past and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. When the bus finally arrives, mother and son step into the unknown, carrying only what they could save — and the quiet hope that survival might still lead them to something better.
