The film follows five destinies filled with desperation, loneliness, betrayal, desire and passion. Social worker Judith helps prostitutes and indulges in sexual fantasies; pregnant Lena's dream future falls apart when she discovers that her husband is cheating on her with prostitutes; Rolf leaves his wife and daughter; Maria, a lonely widow, tries to seduce Juan, a widower who has not yet gotten over the death of his wife. The stories are linked together by the young Bulgarian prostitute Mia and her chilling account of Zurich's sex trade. (Days of European Film)
