SO HOT WAS THE CANNON

A grenade fired from a nerby hill kils parents of a ten year old boy during the siege of Sarajevo in 1994. The Boy looses his ability to speak. A Lady neighbour adopts and takes care of him. The Boy is thrown out from his destroyed apartment and begins to prowl around the city with a schoolmate. Too early and too soon, he goes through the process of growing up. He learns the meanings of such words as force, death, sex. He learns how to achieve. He learns about the values. He learns what matters the most. The Lady neighbour that takes care of him tries to shelter him and protect him. Unsuccessfully. The Boy rides to fall. Death and sufffering become more frequent, and more severe.
