Scent of Rain in the Balkans

S1.E1 · December 11, 2010

"Knowing your family means learning everything about yourself" - we meet the Salom's, a Jewish family with five daughters, a son, a grandfather and loving parents. While teaching her daughter to cook, Estera tells her how their ancestors emigrated to the Bosnia from Spain in the 15th Century, to avoid giving up their religion due to Torquemada during the Inquisition. We meet Leon, the father, who makes shoes with his son, and the daughters. Riki, the youngest, is sent to get salt. Instead of following her mother's orders, she gets sidetracked and lunch is ruined. Buka - who is secretly in love with an older man, is counseled by her aunties to get married and expand the family.
