    • Synopsis
    • Ruža left Belgrade for Switzerland as a young woman full of hope for a new and better life. Twentyfive years later she appears to have achieved everything: She owns a canteen in Zurich, which she manages with a firm grip and financial success. Ruža values her meticulously structured daily routine, both in her professional and private life.

      Ružas's orderly world shifts when 22 year-old Ana from Sarajevo enters the scene. She feels threatened by Ana's direct and impulsive manner while she is intrigued by her thirst for life at the same time .
      Slowly a friendship develops between these two strong-willed women. However, a certain distance between them remains: Ruža’s afraid to open herself up completely, and Ana has a secret that she does not dare to face herself.
