Als Arbens heimliche Liebe von ihm schwanger wird, will ihr Vater zehntausend Euro für die Hochzeit. Arben verspricht, das Geld aufzutreiben. Ohne Visum und Sprachkenntnisse geht er nach Deutschland. Dort trifft er Slatko, der ihn in eine Schlepperbande einführt. Arben lernt die Schattenseite des europäischen Traums kennen, wo Einsamkeit und Materialismus regieren und alles seinen Preis hat.
Handsome Albanian villager Arben (the appealing Nik Xhelilaj, who looks set for a big international career) wants to marry Etleva, daughter of a neighboring clan, but her father has promised her to another man who is offering a 10,000 Euros bride price. But when it turns out Etleva is carrying Arben's child, the pressure is on for him to come up with the dowry before the baby is born -- and before her brothers take revenge for the dishonor he has brought their family. Fleeing to Berlin without papers, experience or knowledge of the language, Arben soon learns the ways of survival.
