Synopsis
Party-girl and native Austrian Jasmin is a busty blonde pastry waitress who escapes the drudgery of her job and pain of family life through night clubbing and indiscriminate sex. Tamara, an Austrian raised but Serbian born nurse, finds that ambition has merely landed her in a job under an abusive supervisor. Once childhood friends who grow apart when school cliques separate the popular blonde from the brunette immigrant, they meet again in an abortion clinic and become unlikely roommates.
