Mila was born in Switzerland, perhaps only by chance. One day she receives a mail order that turns her life upside down. Without further ado, she sets off on a journey that becomes a search for clues through the Balkans. Soon Mila wonders what made her life the way it is today and why things didn't turn out quite differently.

In joint role play, a multilingual ensemble with roots in countries of the so-called former Yugoslavia drives Mila's search for identity and a different life forward. Both, the character Mila and the group, are experiencing how changeable history is from different perspectives.
