Synopsis

This is the diary of Zlata Filipović, an eleven-year-old girl living in Sarajevo during the Bosnian War. What begins as a record of school, friends, and piano lessons quickly shifts as war surrounds her city. Zlata's entries document the daily struggles of survival, from hiding from bombardments to facing food shortages, all while maintaining a remarkable sense of courage and observation.
