A young English art dealer, is mugged after a taxi ride but finds help in the shape of a pensioner named Elena. The two women make their way to the police station. Meanwhile, in Istanbul, a German student is trying to pretend he's been mugged in order to obtain a police report and so claim the insurance money. At the same time, at the famous Spanish place of pilgrimage Santiago de Compostela, a Hungarian history teacher Gabor is relieved of his digital camera.
