Summary: Kanita lives in Sarajevo with her two sons. Her husband was killed at the beginning of the war. She writes to her friend Charles Lowe who first contacted her after seeing her on a BBC news report. They have never met.
Description: This letter is a way of seeing each other for the first time. She says how important the friendship is to her and the telephone calls between the two of them. Warm and friendly words have a high value here, in a place that is cut off from the outside world and this makes their correspondence very valuable.
Kanita worries about the impact of the war on her son, who was only three when his father died. She says that he talks like an adult already, worrying about whether they have enough bread and water. She thought about leaving the capital but her sons did not want to be perceived as refugees.
Shots of Kanita walking with her two sons to the graveyard. She says that they are all worried about the coming winter but, unusually, people are avoiding voicing these fears. She sends her warmest greetings to Charles.
