    • Synopsis
    • Set against the conflict in Kosovo and mafia activities in Marseille, the
      story of a young woman battling to break free of her destiny.
      As a witness and protagonist of horrifying events, Adria struggles to
      carve out a life for herself in a merciless world. Never free to plot her
      own course, she has a sense of trying to exist in a prison without bars.
      From air strikes in Belgrade to the underworld of Europe, from lust at
      first sight to just holding hands, Adria's attempts to find her balance
      and identity are constantly undermined by the violent and mostly
      male environments she cannot escape. It's not her game but she's
      learning fast...
