In a modern Montague-Capulet story, two mismatched lovers struggle to find happiness in an unaccepting society. Marie is a Romanian (known to many as Gypsies), working at a hospital in the Czech Republic. Marie wants to quietly assimilate into the culture around her, a notion that offenders her brother Tibor, who is proud of his heritage. Marie, who is already engaged, falls in love with Czech Frantisek, the best friend of her brother's biggest antagonist.
