Up here, different religions have found a way to co-exist peacefully – Besnik is a devout Muslim, his mother was a Catholic, and his brother converted to the Orthodox faith in Greece.

Even following the discovery that the old village mosque used to be a church and that the building was actually shared by the two religions in the past, the calm of daily life can be preserved – with Besnik's help. After the death of his father, however, drastic changes threaten Besnik's family, and the shepherd is forced to forge his own path.
