“Look grandpa Naim, look at Adrian playing in the yard, look at Shqipja
laughing out loud, look how happy they are.” The poor old man’s heart breaks into
pieces every time he sees the despair in Arber’s eyes and he sees it quite often.
Arber is 12 years old. He has got dark hair, dark features and snow white skin. He
also has a big noise and big head and is very tall for his age. One can tell he is a
typical highlander of Albania. Arber doesn’t go to school this year, as a matter of fact
he won’t be able to go to school not even the coming year and the other coming
year.He will never go back to school again. Just like every “malesor” (highlander) he

On the other side of the fence lies Bayraktari’s tour house. The old man has 3
sons and 8 grandkids, 3 of which are orphans from the son killed by Arber’s father.
His three sons and he are eager to pay for his sons ‘death. They observe the house of their brother’s killer every day in hope for the son to reach his age and kill him.
Proud and anger is killing them alive. They feel dishonored and ashamed by all
the neighbors .They are thirsty for blood just like a hungry wolf in the forest. The
young brothers spend days and nights around the house, they want to know what is
going on across the other fence, they don’t want to lose any second, anything out of
sight.Than another question comes to Arber’s mind: “ Is there anything we can do to
finish this? Shall I ask for forgiveness? No, I can’t. Kanun says a man never asks for
forgiveness first, he is a man and such he must be strong and put his strong ego at
first place. But is it being stronger to keep all that inside or to let it go and start
living? Would it be harder for Bayraktari family to forgive their sons blood and let us
live freely or just kill and live in peace? A real man is made out of his
