The encounter of two women, two cultures, two destinies, as different as they can be. Emma, a retiree in Vienna, reflects on a world that is no longer what it used to be: her new Turkish daughter-in-law is pregnant, her granddaughter Luzie wears tight pants, and her ex-husband Georg has suffered a stroke. Sarema comes to Vienna from Grozny. That she is still alive is thanks to her desperate courage: in the Chechen war, she lost everything, and smugglers brought her and her youngest son Shamil to Austria. Sarema needs asylum, while Emma needs help at home after an accident. Their paths cross, and their destinies intertwine. How far will Emma go to help Sarema?.
