Description
Albania and Montenegro 1839, a setting of beauty and desolation. A land where centuries of bitter hatreds, atrocities and merciless revenge endlessly repeat themselves and simple lives are always in danger.
Enter the Pfiffmaklers, a group of travelling entertainers, on their way to visit the Black Madonna of Montenegro when they stumble the remnants of a massacre.
Only one survivor remains, a little child who has seen too much. She captures the hearts of the kindly Pfiffmaklers, who take her with them away from danger. Or so they think.
