If you wish for something hard enough, will the whole universe work in your favour?
Stela falls in love with a Balkan musician after seeing him on television.
Determined to meet him, she accepts help from Vera, a successful starlet rumored to be his mistress.
Their worlds collide when Vera promises to rescue her from poverty by taking her to Bucharest, where she runs a sex products business.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
"Primarily, this is an empathetic parody of romantic melodramas. Set on the outskirts of the Balkans during the 2008 crisis, it explores the link between sex and money – if sex can be a substitute for money in a collapsing world."
