He and his family spend most of their time in their uncle's basement staring at the carpet and listening to the radio because of the gunfire and bombing that occurs in the streets. Sami dreams of the day when he will have a normal life again. Will this day ever come? Will Sami make it to see tomorrow or will his family be the next victims of the horrible crimes occurring through the streets?
