Anđa Marić is the singer of Kisha project, which has just released their debut album called The Summer (A nyar). “To me at the beginning Kisha was something very private.

The lyrics are deeply inspired by my grandma and her mother, my life during summers I spent in Hungary, at the same spot like Ady Endre (Hungarian poet) who’s lyrics I borrowed”, says Anđa.

When the deafening rattle of war dies away, we see Stevo, scared, running about the field where traces of warfare can be seen and where his house, likewise badly damaged, stands. He is left alone with his daughter Dunja and son Small as his wife has been hit by one of the grenades.
