Two siblings, 13-year-old Andi and 20-year-old Florist, live in a poor and desolate village in Kosovo. By selling milk, they earn just enough money to support their family. When Andi discovers a card of a Dutch porn star in their bedroom, he needs a smartphone to scan the code and watch whatever this unknown woman promises. He is so obsessed with it, he doesn’t notice his brother has chosen this day to say goodbye to him...

Sarah Veltmeyer
Sarah Veltmeyer (1988) is a writer and director from Amsterdam. Without attending film school, but with a lot of love for film, she decided to make her first short film, Gotta in 2015. Gotta won the Best Short Film award at the Noordelijk Film Festival and Best Film and Best Script of “The One Vision Party” at the Netherlands Film Festival. In 2016, she got money from the Netherlands Film Fund to make her second short film. This brought her to Kosovo, where she made Kiem Holijanda.
