The newlywed couple rush there to discover the other sons neglecting their mom in order to plot their squandering of the inheritance.

Una mattina Gemma decide di partire con suo figlio Pietro, sedici anni, per accettare l'invito di Gojko, un vecchio amico bosniaco, di professione poeta. Da qui la storia si sdoppia, alternando il racconto del soggiorno a Sarajevo di Gemma e Pietro ai ricordi della stessa Gemma: dal viaggio a Sarajevo nel 1984 - Gemma (Penélope Cruz) visits Sarajevo with her son, Pietro (Pietro Castellitto). The two of them had escaped the city sixteen years ago while the boy’s father, Diego (Emile Hirsch) remained behind and later died. As she tries to repair her relationship with Pietro, Gemma is forced by revelations to face loss, the cost of war and the redemptive power of love.
