Marta is born into a community ravaged by the effects of the Ceausescu regime. Poverty forces her to leave Romania as a young adult to look for work.

While there, she unexpectedly meets an old school friend, Sebastian, who sets out to rescue her. Sebastian returns after his first visit but finds she has vanished. He locates her again briefly but then discovers her life is in danger, and she disappears once more.
