Her house is on the Serbian side of the River Ibar. One day a wounded soldier takes shelter there. The soldier’s name is Ramiz. Ramiz is Albanian. Danica hides him and looks after him. Something grows between them. Then a neighbour works out who the man is. He reports it. Ramiz escapes to the Albanian side of the city. Danilo goes after him. The bridge between the two sides is closed. The mother does not know how to get her child back.
