Cuando era joven, Ruza dejó Belgrado y emigró a Suiza con la esperanza de emprender allí una nueva vida. 25 años después, todo parece indicar que ha cumplido sus objetivos: es dueña de un comedor en Zurich que regenta con mano firme y buenos resultados económicos. Ruza está muy apegada a su rutina diaria, estructurada meticulosamente, pero su ordenado mundo da un vuelco cuando entra en escena Anna, una joven de veintidós años procedente de Sarajevo. Ruza se siente amenazada por la conducta impulsiva de la joven, aunque también experimenta el magnetismo de su gran energía vital. Poco a poco va creciendo la amistad entre estas dos mujeres que, sin embargo, no consiguen salvar la doble barrera que las separa: el temor que siente Ruza a la hora de abrirse por completo a los demás y un secreto inconfesable de Ana.
