Plot summary
Seven years have passed since the war in Kosovo, and Fahrije still has no word of her husband. Along with the grief, the family is struggling financially, and she has children to provide for. She launches a small agricultural business, selling ajvar and honey of her own making, and recruits other women to work alongside her. Where she lives, widows are not expected to work, and the community has already condemned her for daring to drive. Neighbors are hostile to the venture and would rather see it fail. She must decide whether to keep waiting for his return or to carry on with the business.
