Danas je subota. Vrijeme je prelijepo i sunce sija. Ana je u svom stanu u Sarajevu. Ona se budi rano, oko osam sati. Osjeća se dobro i odmorna je. Prvo, Ana ide u kuhinju. Ona kuha bosansku kafu u džezvi. Uskoro, cijeli stan lijepo miriše na kafu. To je njen omiljeni jutarnji ritual.

Za doručak, Ana jede pitu sa sirom. Pitu je jučer kupila u pekari. Pita je topla, hrskava i ukusna. Dok jede, ona gleda kroz prozor. Gleda ulice grada. Poslije doručka, Ana se oblači i izlazi napolje.

Ona ide prema Baščaršiji. To je srce starog grada. Ana šeta starim ulicama. Ona gleda golubove kod Sebilja. Gleda i izloge zanatskih radnji. U radnjama ima mnogo lijepih stvari: bakreno posuđe, tepisi i nakit.

Kod jedne radnje, Ana sreće svoju prijateljicu Emu. "Ema, baš lijepo što te vidim!" kaže Ana. One odlučuju da sjednu u kafić. Naručuju kafu i limunadu. Dugo razgovaraju. Pričaju o novoj knjizi i planiraju odlazak u kino.

Popodne, Ana se oprašta od Eme. Ona ide polako kući. Kod kuće, Ana sluša muziku da se opusti. Zatim uzima knjigu i izlazi na balkon. Sjedi u udobnoj stolici, čita i uživa u suncu. Za nju je Sarajevo najljepši grad. Ovakve mirne subote su za nju pravo blago.
