Summaries

Ruza left Belgrade for Switzerland as a young woman full of hope for a new, better life. 25 years later she appears to have achieved everything: She owns a canteen in Zurich, which she manages with a firm grip and financial success. Ruza values her meticulously-structured daily routine, both in her professional and private life. Ruzas's orderly world shifts when 22-year-old Ana from Sarajevo enters the scene. She feels threatened by Ana's direct, impulsive manner while at the same time she is intrigued by her zest for life. Slowly a friendship develops between these two self-willed women. However, a certain distance between them remains: Ruza's afraid to open herself up completely, and Ana has a secret too difficult to reveal.

Ruza left Serbia, her country, over 25 years ago and lives in Zurich. Her daily life is a string of repetitive moments until the day Ana arrives on the scene and upsets Ruza's painstakingly-organized world. A subtle friendship develops between the two strong-willed women.—Anonymous
