In search of a better future, Nina flees home with her younger sister. But at the border, Leijla is kidnapped by a group of paramilitaries. Nina wakes up in the White Club, a strange club hidden away in an old racecourse. The ni- ghtclub is run by a manipulative woman, Ofelia, assisted by her son, Mirko.
Thrust into the world of luxury prostitution, Nina keeps thinking and searching for Leijla. While she forges new alliances at the club and gets closer to Ofelia, Mirko goes in the opposite direction. After years of blind sub- mission to his mother, he is torn between his loyalty to her and Leijla’s fate. When Sara, his secret lover, myste- riously disappears, Mirko is left with only one option: to rush onwards.
THE WHITE CLUB is a parable about the state of the world, exposing its subterranean forces and the illusions that inhabit it. Through the journeys of Nina and Mirko, the film explores the loss of power and the desperate quest to regain it, by any means possible.
