The northern outskirts of Vienna, 1995. Former childhood schoolmates Tamara and Jasmin cross paths in an abortion clinic, unaware that their very different 20-something lives have enough in common to intertwine. Tamara, of Serbian origin, is making a graceful transition to adulthood. But missing her family in Sarajevo makes living on her own all the more lonely. Her boyfriend, Roman, is away most of the time because of mlitary service, while her bitchy supervisor makes Tamara wonder why she ever wanted to become a nurse. Jasmin works as a waitress in a pastry cafe. The fun-loving blonde enjoys pastries and men. The combination of the two seems to soothe the hardships of life at home with her parents and younger siblings. But sweets and good times can't cover up the dark memories of Jasmin's childhood. After a violent show-down with her father, Jasmin leaves home for good and moves in with Tamara...
