The film tells the story of Danja, an 18-year-old Albanian girl who has lived in Genoa for 16 years. She hardly bears the traditions and orthodox religion of her father Viktor, with whom she has a complicated relationship, but she doesn't imagine that behind the night club that he runs she hides a dark secret.
