Told in nine chapters, 'Immigrant' follows two parallel stories about Bosnian immigrants in Canada, in the aftermath of the Bosnian war. The first looks at a relationship between Bojan, a young filmmaker, and his Canadian girlfriend Emily. One of Bojan's film projects takes them to Sarajevo, his birthplace. Emily hopes the trip will bring them closer together, but the difficult journey manages to achieve the opposite. The second story is about Enko, a lonely widower, whose relentless memories of his previous life in Bosnia make it difficult to commit to the demands of his new life in Canada.
