In this luminous tale set in the area around Sarajevo and in Italy, Perhan, an engaging young Romany (gypsy) with telekinetic powers, is seduced by the quick-cash world of petty crime, which threatens to destroy him and those he loves.

Perhan is a teenage gypsy boy with telekinetic powers. A wealthy gypsy, Ahmed, visits the village and promises to get Perhan's sister the medical treatment she needs if they go with him to Italy. Perhan soon discovers that Ahmed's business activities are quite shady and he is soon lured into Ahmed's world.—grantss
