Day after day, Andi and his older brother Florist sell bottled milk in a desolate village in Kosovo. There’s not much else to do here and the money they earn is just about enough to pay for essentials. Andi’s biggest dream is to own his own mobile phone so that he can look at beautiful women in the internet. While the 13-year-old does everything he can to make this wish come true, his 20-year-old brother is making plans to run away: »I’m going to Holland«. – »To Holland, are you mad?«
