At the end of the Second World War, the young and handsome Italian Enrico marries the Bulgarian Kalina. He then falls into the clutches of Sofia’s State Security Police, at the instigation of the security cop Metodi Stoev, who is in love with Enrico’s wife. The Italian is sent to a labour camp, while Kalina becomes Stoev’s informant and bears his child. Despite the drama that they endure, Kalina and Enrico never stop searching for each other and loving each other. He manages to escape from the evils of the concentration camp, whilst she finds the strength within herself to withstand violence and is expelled to Italy by the Bulgarian authorities. The two of them travel towards each other, possessed by the memories of their suffering, in order to be reunited in a country where they never knew each other. But will they indeed meet again, or will their memories make them pass each other by forever?
