Artur, a successful painter in Albania has a exhibit in Italy. The most praised painting by the critics is the portrait of girl entitled 'Light of Love' that unveils a forbidden love in communist Albania.

Meeting after so many years in front of the painting, Artur and Klara are forced to confront their history and feelings for each other.
