Robert (39), a writer, journalist, and alcoholic suffering from war-induced PTSD, manages to sleep with four women; get fired as a journalist and hired as a screenwriter; suffer burns and contract sexually transmitted diseases; become both a father and a godfather; get into fights and instigate two others; cause his friend to lose his job—and much worse... all in just four drunken days.

Ahmet is a fifteen-year-old boy who lives with his father and brother in a small shepherding village in Macedonia. His love of music provides an escape from his exhausting and monotonous duties as a shepherd, but he must hide this passion from his strict father. With his brother Naim's help, Ahmet decides to pursue his musical ambitions in the hope of impressing Aya, a girl he likes who is already "promised" to someone else. His chance comes at a forest dance festival organised in their village, an event that transforms their rural landscape into a spectacle of rhythm, colour and movement.

The story begins in the 20th century. A Chilean woman named Teresa arrives in a small Dalmatian mountain village, claiming to be the widow of the elder’s deceased brother, who died in a Chilean mine. The arrival of this mysterious foreigner, who does not speak the language or understand the customs, brings both unease and a sense of freedom to the closed rural community.
