Sofka Trnovska, 62 meets her brother Petro Trenov, 69 for the first time in 18 years. Last time he came to visit her in the then Yugoslav Macedonia, but they often talk via phone. They were split as children when she was sent away as a child refugee, and he being older stayed behind. It is her first time to return to the village. Petro still lives in their childhood home, although he has replaced it with a modern house. This particular family was split in three by the war, Sofka went as a child refugee and grew up in Czechoslovakia, and she was not reunited with the family for 8 years. The rest of the family with their sister Fana fled a year later to Yugoslav Macedonia when the Greek Army arrived in the village. Unfortunately Petro and his grandfather were in the hills with the sheep, and when they returned the Greek Army caught him, 14 years old he became a soldier. The three sisters and brothers grew up in different countries.
