A naive girl's love for Switzerland is put to the test in this satiric comedy. Irina is a woman from Russia who all her life has always been fascinated by Switzerland and longs to live there some day, though her notion of Swiss life has more to do with Heidi and old movies set in the Alps than reality.

Maria is a wife and mother in the beautiful, but very remote Connemara region of Ireland. When an old friend from Germany arrives in the place, her life is thrown into turmoil.
