The essence and meaning of a transcendent love between two people-the kernel of human existence-is often found in the crucible of war. Such was the love between Bosko, a Serbian boy and Admira, a Bosnian girl who were caught in one of the most barbaric and brutal periods of the last century-the breakup of Yugoslavia. Unwilling to ever be parted they lived like animals among the dead and the dying, even as they hid from those who sought to destroy them. Bosko would not leaved Admira when he had the chance to escape death by leaving Sarajevo. Admira risked her life so that they would never be separated. Caught in the maelstrom of a war they lived their lives with passion and unbounded love for each other and were never parted even as they were betrayed to their enemies by Bosko's closest friend.
