Sokol and Lorna, two Albanian emigrants in
Belgium, dream of leaving their dreary jobs to set up a snack bar. They need
money, and a permanent resident status. Claudy is a junkie - he needs money to
satisfy his addiction. Andrei, the cigarette smuggler, must hold up for a while
outside Russia; he has loads of money. Fabio, the Italian taxi driver and
aspiring gang boss, elaborates a clever scheme: he will pay Claudy to marry
Lorna so that she acquires a Belgian citizenship. Then she is to re-marry
Andrei, who will in this way obtain the coveted EU passport - and pay a hefty
price to Fabio and Lorna for the service. Like all plans, this one will not
survive the contact with reality. |
