Having fled the violent breakup of Yugoslavia, Tanja Lucic is
now a professor of literature at the University of Amsterdam, where
she teaches a class filled with other young Yugoslav exiles, most
of whom earn meager wages assembling leather and rubber S&M
clothing at a sweatshop they call the "Ministry." Abandoning
literature, Tanja encourages her students to indulge their
"Yugonostalgia" in essays about their personal experiences during
their homeland's cultural and physical disintegration. But Tanja's
act of academic rebellion incites the rage of one renegade member
of her class--and pulls her dangerously close to another--which, in
turn, exacerbates the tensions of a life in exile that has now
begun to spiral seriously out of control.
