1. Bijela Kao Mlijeko, Crvena Kao Krv
A tender coming-of-age story about a teenage boy who falls passionately for a red-haired classmate struck by illness; as he navigates first love, grief and the shock of mortality, he confronts family tensions, friendships and questions of faith, finding guidance in literature and imperfect adults and slowly learning what it means to grow up amid hope and loss.
