Plot

The film follows a number of people who, willingly or not, move to Amsterdam from abroad: three girls from Bulgaria who are told they will be models for a photo shoot, but end up in prostitution, the African man Yaya, who loses his job and gets in financial trouble, the Swedish musical conductor Stig, whose son Lukas goes missing, Serbian war criminal Ivica, who now runs a brothel in the Amsterdam red light district, and Seka from Bosnia, who recognises Ivica from her past. As the stories evolve, they merge into each other and these people, each with such different backgrounds, will have to rely on their new friendships.
