If you wish for something fervently enough, will the whole universe work in your favour? Stela fell in love with a Balkan musician after seeing him on television. Determined to meet him, she accepts help from Vera, a glamorous starlet rumoured to be the musician’s mistress. Their worlds collide when Vera promises to rescue Stela from her poverty-stricken life by taking her to Bucharest, where she runs a sex-products business.
