A disjointed and unpredictable journey from captivity to freedom. Lisa, a young, poor and naive girl pursues her dream of traveling by becoming an au pair; but within the glamourous households of her host families, reality turns out to be far different than she ever expected.

Her name was Lisa. Like many other young people of her age, she was full of energy, enthusiasm and illusions of youth. Her dearest wish was to travel around the world. How could a young graduate with no money or connections undertake such a journey? As a recent education graduate, Lisa decided to participate in a famous au pair exchange program and spent a year abroad as an equal member of her host family. Without any acquaintances and sufficient language knowledge, Lisa, a poor and naive girl, becomes dependent on her host family in a foreign country.  Behind the curtain of the glamorous house of her host families, the reality turns out to be different than she ever expected it would be.
