Plot edit

A young Albanian emigrant is precariously caught in Amsterdam among the promise and allure of the rich city, threats of ruthless Albanian drug dealers & sex traffickers and his white marriage with a Dutch girl. At the heart of this lies a true love in his poor and backward country. Bekim, 30, will do anything to make fast money. He instead, returns to his country empty handed after giving up his last Euros to save a young girl at the windows of the red light district.[2]
