About No Bread Tomorrow
Kragujevac 1941: Amid the encroaching shadows of World War II in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, embroiled in its own complex, bloody civil war, Zora Brković emerges as a beacon of unwavering resilience and hope for her Serbian people. An inimitable healer and a devoted mother of seven, she grapples with an unfulfilling marriage to her lackluster husband, Peda, who naively dismisses the imminent threat of Hitler's forces. But when he stubbornly refuses to send their two fighting-aged sons to safety in America, it sets them on a terrifying course. As their nation teeters on the brink of war, Zora's determination to save her children propels her on a treacherous journey filled with danger and uncertainty.
