Aida, a tough business woman living in an Albanian town at the shores of Lake Ohrid, works a
lucrative job as city planner responsible for the allocation of EU subsidies. While a large portion of
these funds are pocketed by her corrupt boss, Aida isn't above taking the occasional bribe herself
to keep her place in the ultra-masculine, patriarchal world. Her comfortable life is shattered, when
her teenage son Mark gets accused of sexual assault by a class mate. Convinced of her sons
innocence Aida starts to investigate on her own against the wishes of her husband and the police.
During her search for the truth she encounters a wall of silence, envy and deep seated prejudice –
and finally has to accept a heartbreaking reality.
