A gorgeous, spirited young Bulgarian woman (Anjela Nedyalkova) travels to the Netherlands with dreams of a modelling career, only to find herself working Amsterdam's red-light district against her will. An African illegal migrant worker (Issaka Sawadogo) is forced to accept a reprehensible job just to keep himself and a neighbouring family from losing their modest lodgings. A Swedish boy (Erik Adelöw) is mercilessly teased at school, while at home he is overwhelmed by pressure from his conductor father (Magnus Krepper) to become a piano virtuoso. A Serbian war criminal (Boris Isakovic) believes he has started a new life in Amsterdam, complete with a new baby and a thriving business, but there are those in his vicinity who have not forgotten his malefactions of old — including Seka (Jasna Djuricic), a Bosnian woman so single-mindedly focussed on revenge that she will not allow love into her life.

Voici l'un des bons films européens passés inaperçus. Le plus drôle, c'est que j'ai regardé une version tchèque dans laquelle une grande partie de l'intrigue se déroulait dans les langues maternelles des personnages et comme je ne parle pas ni les langues balkaniques ni les nordiques, j'ai dû deviner l'intrigue. Mais j'ai quand même aimé le film, notamment le jeu des acteurs et la musique qui était très forte.
