Description
Zdravka is a young hot-headed Scorpio always ready to make sudden decisions. Due to this her decisions are often wrong. After a broken engagement she practically leaves overnight her promising career and homeland to study in Germany. She later continues working in Germany, where she meets a charming compatriot, very attentive and loving and she believes she found a partner for life. They marry and soon after on her husband's initiative they migrate to Australia. In spite of being badly neglected by her husband, whose personality changed in a matter of months after the marriage, she plays deaf and blind and sticks to him through thick and thin. She finds herself in a new country with unwelcoming locals, experiences isolation, betrayal, humiliation and racism – all without sympathy, understanding and protection of a man she is emotionally involved with. One day, and after almost fifteen years of a bad relationship, Zdravka finally woke up.
