And there can only be one: the young Roma man—Enis—employed as a waiter at the café.With all eyes on him, Enis is forced to flee, his face looming large on the front page of every newspaper and channel. The only place where he can think to take refuge is in Bosnia, in the settlement where his estranged father lives.
