Told in nine chapters, Immigrant follows two parallel stories about Bosnian immigrants in Canada, in the aftermath of the 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 does just the opposite. The second story is about Enko, a lonely widower, whose relentless memories of his life in Bosnia make it difficult to commit to the demands of his new life in Canada.
