The stories of four women, two Slovaks and two Italians, intersect, complement and contradict one another, yet fit together. Their four very different lives play out in Bratislava and in Turin, in streets and homes, in relationships and bodies, on the internet, at a riding club, in the Vanchiglia district, but above all in their heads. Each of them is caught in her relationship with her mother and in relationships with truck drivers, virtual ones, all too real ones, or none at all.
