It is set in Albania in 1991 after the fall of the Communist regime.

As Albania's people try desperately to flee destitution, two Italian racketeers, Gino and Fiore  come to Albania to set up a fictive firm and pocket the grants. They need an easily exploitable native Albanian so appoint a half-crazy old Albanian man  Spiro to serve as chairman of the fraudulent company. While Fiore returns to Italy to get funds from the government for the project, Gino tries to track down the deranged Spiro who keeps running off, setting out on a journey that leads him to discover Spiro's tragic personal history and become intimately acquainted with the full extent of Albanian poverty.

However, their plans go awry. The government funding is denied. And Gino, suddenly trapped in an unfamiliar, hostile land. His experiences in Albania are like a descent into hell. He is progressively stripped of his possessions, his freedom and, ultimately, his identity.

Gianni Amelio's film paints a jolting, contorted, but realistic portrait of today's Albania. It shows us a land of entrenched poverty whose unfortunate inhabitants watch Italian television and dream of their "America," the gilded, promised land of soccer stars and fashion houses that lies waiting for them just across the Adriatic Sea.

故事发生在1991年的阿尔巴尼亚,当时共产主义政权刚刚退出历史舞台。

正当阿尔巴尼亚人绝望地试图逃离贫穷世界时,两个意大利奸商Gino和Fiore来了,他们想成立一个假公司骗取补助金。他们需要一个容易利用的本地人,所以就找来一个半疯的阿尔巴尼亚老人Spiro,让他做那个不存在的公司的主席。Fiore回意大利去取政府的补助金时,Gino却在到处找随时想逃跑的疯癫的Spiro,结果他开始了解Spiro个人悲剧的旅程,也进一步深入地接触到阿尔巴尼亚贫穷的现状。

然而他们的计划落空了。政府拒绝发放补助金。这样Gino就突然陷入了一个陌生的、敌意的环境中。他在阿尔巴尼亚的经历就像进入了地狱。他的财产、他的自由,甚至最后连他的身份都被剥夺了。

Gianni Amelio的电影描绘了一个动荡、扭曲但又现实的当代阿尔巴尼亚。它向我们展示了一片注定贫穷的土地,不幸的人民看着意大利的电视梦想着自己的“亚美利加”,那里生活富足,前途光明,还有足球明星以及时尚洋房,所有这些都在亚得里亚海对岸等着他们。
