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.
