Wild Side Plot
Stephanie returns home to care for her dying mother. Having run away to the big city over 15 years ago, Stephanie is reminded of another lifestyle back in the desolate rural landscape of her childhood. The countryside provokes a flood of emotions and memories. Not only for Stephanie, but also for Mikhail and Jamel, the two young men who share her affections and her bed. Experiencing inevitable flashbacks of her childhood as a boy, transsexual Stephanie is haunted by the early death of her beloved only sister. The monotony of streetwalking and turning tricks night after night is also difficult to forget. Young Russian man Mikhail lives illegally hand to mouth in a country where he hardly speaks the language. A former soldier, he is still tormented by horrific images of war. Jamel is an Arab guy who makes ends meet through prostitution. Not as tough as he acts, he secretly yearns for the days when he was still part of his family. His biggest fear is sleeping alone. Their future is uncertain. Others may not understand them. But the three unlikely friends have found comfort and passion in one another's arms.
