Lesbian partners Anna and Mara are returning home from an exotic holiday. While they are still on their way back, Anna discovers a young Moroccan in the boot of the car. Like thousands of others, Anis is trying to get into Europe in order to find work and have a chance of a better life. The girls take him in and look after him like a younger brother. Anna finds him work in the warehouse of the family firm, a shoe factory where Mara also works on the shop floor. However, the sense of mutual solidarity is destroyed as soon as this fragile community is faced with serious problems. The destructive avalanche is caused by the distraught Mara after the death of her father, and it immediately becomes apparent that the threesome were only being held together by their awareness of being different from other people. The film tells a story of intimacy, yet the way in which it treats the theme of the lesbian relationship, dismissed by the close families of both women, edges it towards the socio-critical genre. The latter is also underscored by the film’s contemplation of the precarious position of ordinary labourers, of unemployment and, above all, the causes of the disenchantment of immigrants from the Third World.
