- The cultural differences between two women create an obsession full of tension from the first moment. Emina works a dead-end night job with a lecherous boss, stealing private moments when she can. Antonia parties late, misses her younger girlfriend in NYC, and seems to collect foreign friends in need of a hand. They share an apartment in a grey neighborhood of Rome, running into each other occasionally. Antonia’s insecurity and Emina’s loneliness escalate to set the stage perfectly for them to find hope and comfort in each other. When Antonia stops a desperate Bosnian man, Neso, from committing suicide, she lets him sleep on the couch, thinking he and Emina will have much in common. What becomes apparent is that one is a Bosnian Serb and one is a Bosnian Muslim.
