Mirko (20) has to deliver Nina (16) and Lejla (17), two Kosovar sisters, to the luxurious White Club near Trieste, run by his mother. Although the journey has been carefully planned, a gang of paramilitaries intercepts the trio at the border. One of the girls is kidnapped. Only Nina is taken to the White Club, which is discreetly located in an old hippodrome. Deciding to forge a plan to find her sister, Nina leads Mirko down a tragic path.
