Kenan (Mario Drmać), a Bosniak classical musician, and Milan (Tarik Filipović), a Serb, live in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina in a clandestine gay relationship.

In order to hide from Serbian militiamen, Kenan disguises himself as a woman and Milan passes him off as his wife.

Together, they go to Milan's village in Eastern Bosnia, a Serb stronghold, where they continue to live in deception.
