Das Echo der Bäume

"Ana, listen to me. We're gonna play a game, okay? All you have to do is stay close to me, very close. Then when I fall in the pit, you'll let yourself fall. Just close your eyes and keep your body straight. But it only works if we both fall at the exact same moment. Do you understand?" These are the last words that 10-year-old Ana remembers as she gets up from the forest floor. She survived by trickery, but her father and mother are dead. It is 1991, near Zagreb, in a country where neighbors have become enemies. Ana manages to escape to America, together with her little sister Rahela, who is still a baby. Rahela grows up carefree, but Ana cannot forget. Until one day she decides to return to the Croatia of today, to the place that is still full of miracles for her.
