During Enver Hoxha's totalitarian rule following World War Two,
Albania became the most isolated and paranoid European state. Two
brothers -- sons of a war hero and domineering official -- come to
embody the only possibilities for life under these conditions:
capitulation or resistance. Viktor becomes a willing soldier and
brings home a beautiful girl, Helena, as his wife. Ismail, shunned
by his father and by nature a poet, is emotionally blinded from the
mysterious death of his mother when he was 4. As an irresistible
attraction develops between Helena and Ismail, they are compelled
to uncover the long-hidden tragedy to which they are all heirs.
