An American ambassador to Macedonia steals an antique bronze figurine depicting the ``Rape of Europe'' from the house of the prime minister. Three years later, this artifact will be exhibited in a museum in Washington. Police and judicial torture begins against the wife of the former prime minister, Joanna Pelasca, and her children, who hiding the video that shows exactly how the theft happened! In the same time, Aida, a twenty-three-year-old doctor, is raped by her senior colleague, a famous surgeon, during a night shift. The court rejects her rape lawsuit on the grounds that during the event she did not offer strong enough resistance. Thus begins her struggle with herself after she realizes that she is turning from a victim into a rapist. Both women are looking for enough reasons, one to leave, and the other to stay in Macedonia in the hope that tomorrow morning will be better than today.
