Before Christmas, Matthias returns to his multi-ethnic home village in Transylvania after leaving his job in Germany in a hurry. But neither his ex-wife Ana nor his son Rudi were waiting for him. Even his former lover Csilla, the boss of a large bakery, no longer wants to hear from him. She is desperately looking for employees so that she can continue to benefit from EU subsidies. When she hires three men from Sri Lanka, the village's balance is upset. The community's accumulated frustration is vented against the bakery and the newcomers.
