Anna is a taxi driver in her thirties. She is just having her muddy car washed at an abandoned roadside gas station when she witnesses an unusual event: the station gets robbed in broad daylight. While escaping, her fate links up with the young Ukranian man's who was washing her car. As a promising ballet dancer, Andrej came to try his luck in HUngary. She falls in love with Andrei who turns out to have well-oiled Russian connections since his father lived in Budapest for many years as an officer of the occupying Soviet Army. Andrei becomes a dancer in a Russian-owned bar called "Red Colibri". Anna is anxious about him and his involvement in the under world and tries everything to get him into the Opera House which opens up the opportunity of a respectable artistic carreer for him. As Andrei becomes more and more occupied with dancing and his new connections, he cared less and less about her. She desperately tries to keep him, even at the price of hurting her relationship with her 8 year-old daughter. Anna realizes that she has no place in the world she helped Andrei get in to. She allows the young man to pursue his own carreer.
