Corre el año 1911 cuando Keyle, una prostituta judía, conoce al amor de su vida, Yarme, ex convicto. La joven pareja sueña con escapar de la miseria del gueto de Varsovia, donde viven bajo la constante amenaza de los pogromos, así que cuando Max, un viejo conocido, les ofrece participar en sus lucrativos negocios en Sudamérica, no lo dudan ni un momento.
