Two separate stories are intricately woven throughout this unique film. The first tale is of two brothers (Joseph Fiennes and David Wenham) who fall in love with the same woman (Anne Brochet) in turn-of-the-century Turkey. In the second story, set in modern-day New York, an elderly woman becomes friends with an unlikely person: the thief (Adrian Lester) who's out to steal her secret stash of Balkan gold.
