A coming of age story set-in war-torn Yugoslavia about a teenager who finds escape in music and decides to emigrate to find herself. This leads to a number of culture shocks but she is prepared to take risks, even those that land her in trouble, not just with authorities but with the criminal underworld, which inevitably leads to personal crisis. Yet, Jasna's rebellious and wild side helps her overcome pressures, prejudices and setbacks of her precarious situation.

This play's development is supported by the Arts Council of Ireland.
