The story of a Sarajevo refugee now established in Italy. After starting afresh in a new country, she decides to go back to her native city and meet with friends from the past. Her tragic story is revealed to the viewer in alternate flashbacks. The movie is quite long for the storyline, as is the case in many Italian movies. Some tragic scenes end up being funny instead. The movie was booed at the San Sebastian film festival. Penelope Cruz as an Italian is a good choice, but the moment she starts speaking English, the magic is gone. It is impossible for her to hide her Spanish accent.
