Manuela accuses Polo of having raped her sister Billi on the banks of the River Aare. He considers himself innocent. He often drives his Kawasaki to the River. It is there, surrounded by nature, that he feels at ease. Giorgio, his work mate, tries to persuade Polo to join a xenophobic group. Sao, a Thai prostitute, attempts to escape from her pimp, and Polo involuntarily becomes her rescuer. They can barely understand what each other is saying, but they discover that they have some things in common and get to know each other better. During a picnic by the river known as The Aare, the river reminds Sao of the Mekong, the river of her childhood, and yearnings are aroused in Polo too.
