An ethnic Albanian from the Bronx returns to the turbulent Balkan region in the 1990s. The journey is told through a series of short, reflective and often satirical stories that juxtapose childhood memories with the reality of the return. Just as much an immigrant in his homeland as he was in the Bronx, the stories capture the ups and downs of an expatriate trying to survive in the Balkans during the fall of communism in Albania and the wars in former-Yugoslavia.
